    It is the defendant who manage the property (except my room and myself) and it also him the selected the other tenant as occupiers of the property, so he is responsible of their acts. Anyway, it is obvious for me he has instructed the others tenants to harass me (like he previously did in complicity with landlord by asking previous tenant to assault tenant).
    These law centres does not want to help since they do not obtain legal aid for injunction application.

    1. He is not legally responsible for acts of others simply because he selected them as tenants.

    2. Just because it's obvious to you that he has instructed tenants to act in a certain way, does not mean that you can prove it. You will need concrete evidence e.g. witnessing him instructing them, emails from him to them, etc.
  • Did you really expect them just to accept things?

    Are you now in a position to move elsewhere?

    We are in December and I have not any accommodation yet.
  • I am confused. It sounds like you all actually live in one house together? Does the landlord live there as well? How long have you got left on your contract? Has your landlord registered your deposit?

    df

    The landlord does not live in the property but the other tenant lives in the same house than me. The contract expires at beginning of January 2014 and I have just received a claim for repossession from landlord with a court hearing on 17 January 2014 (while I still not have received a date for a court hearing regarding my own claim that I did before the landlord himself).
    I will really need that my hearing for harassment against tenant to be deal with before my landlord repossession hearing but I do not know if I can ask the court to proceed this way.
  • You did not complain to the royal mail about your post and allow them to carry out an investigation. They take allegations like this very seriously. Instead you went straight to court with no evidence.

    I tried to make the complaint on numerous (before I posted this thread and after)occasions but the person at the post office refused.
    Are you for real?
    Yes, I am...

    I can only agree with you but I will need at least until middle of February rather the present deadline of end of January.

    Fine so you go to court and ask for one month's grace and stand a good chance of being given it.

    Even if immediate repro is granted, he still need to book a bailliff which could take months to obtain and many of them would rather give you a day or two's grace if you agree to leave without them.

    Please speak to Shelter so you understand your rights.
    If you've have not made a mistake, you've made nothing
  • If you have a tenancy for the room you are renting in this property and your fixed-term ends at the beginning of next month, the repossession hearing will grant the landlord possession automatically if the documentation has been properly served AND that your deposit was protected correctly. After the hearing on Jan 17th the landlord's next step will be to instruct the court bailiffs to remove you if you haven't gone by the deadline set by the court. The only thing that is uncertain is how long it will take for the bailiffs to be available and then show up on the doorstep. You can be confident that if you choose not to go by the deadline set by the court that the bailiffs will arrive accompanied by the police to prevent a breach of the peace.

    I think you have no hope in hell of getting the harassment hearing brought forward.

    On the repossession claim the landlord has wrongly put the same address then me except they have added something like :

    PeterHook,
    First Floor Back Right Room,
    102 Famous Street,
    XR15 9OP


    while the landlord put his address as :

    Landlord_Name,
    102 Famous Street,
    XR15 9OP

    I think you have no hope in hell of getting the harassment hearing brought forward.
    I do not understand what you exactly mean by this : can you please detail?

    PS : On my tenancy agreement my address is just :
    PeterHook,
    102 Famous Street,
    XR15 9OP

    Sorry Peter Hook, but you might as well be arguing about the number of angels who could dance on the head of a pin!

    If you persist in your arguments, you may well be classified as a "vexatious litigant".
