Eviction notice in the pipeline

So get one of these and you are sorted,

plenty of wood on this as well.

If the main worry is fire risk get a metal shed.

My bolding.

The item being flammable is not necessarily the only concern. Fire behaves differently in these two different environments (i.e. open 3 sided vs closed four sided with a void inside and surrounding it i.e. several air pockets created.

The structure above the car port may have been built to withstand fires burning in a manner that would occur from having a large open space, but not fires burning in a concentrated area with limited air flow (tends to cause hot spots).

As per my last post, this is all largely irrelevent since the landlord doesn't want a structure there for whatever reason.

Someone please correct me here, if I'm wrong. But the discussion seems to be about sheds and mould and contacting environmental health.

All of this will be irrelevant if the LL serves eviction notice. The tenant has a week to get rid of the shed or notice will be served.

Why is the discussion not about getting rid of the shed first, securing a new 6 month lease with a condition that the mould is sorted, in writing.

Surely it is all academic about the mould, as the notice will have passed before any serious action about the mould can take place.

I notice that the OP ignored my question about whether they thought that the LL not sorting out the mould would stop the eviction proceedings. If the tenant wants to leave, then fine, ignore the shed. If the tenant wants to stay, then the shed and possible eviction notice is the priority. Then you can concentrate on the mould.

There seems to be a lack of logic here.

she doesn't have to leave a property with a court order telling her she has to, any citizans advice or even the council will tell you that

Really? So the council and CAB over rule the courts?

I assume the poster either meant they don't have to leave without a court order or that merely getting a court order was not enough in that the landlord would then have to instruct the bailiffs.

And if the LL goes to the trouble of going through the courts, then I'm sure they'll follow up with the bailiffs.

Being evicted by the bailiffs is not a nice process.

Just tell her to move her shed to the pavement or the middle of the road: Clearly she thinks she can stick it wherever she likes. Suspect many might think she should stick it.....

Cheers!

She made the mistake of trusting the managing agent when she asked permission to put the shed there and was told to go ahead. Yes, in hindsight she should have asked for this in writing but she is young, naive and trusting.

By managing agent do you mean the letting agent working on behalf of the landlord, or a building managing company who works for the freeholder and manages the whole building of properties on the site?

Either way, I doubt permission from either would override any greater restrictions on erecting such a structure.

Sorry, I meant the letting agent managing the property for the landlord. Of course he left the company so was unable to confirm that he had given permission. I think my daughter has now learnt not to take anybody's word and to get everything in writing.
Each dwelling is separate and there are no communal areas. The majority are currently owned by the same owner but some have been sold separately.

So, is she going to get rid of the shed or wait for the eviction notice? And if she gets evicted, then no reference from the LL.

We could always ignore the real important issue here and talk about mould.
