You do realise that what your talking about refers to facilities, not service. Ie a laundry room, or access to facilities to wash clothes.
No. I was quite clear about what I was referring to.The question was asked about whether the LL lived on site, the most common factor in determining excluded occupiers. He does not.
But you do accept that it is not the ONLY factor.This is clearly a HMO, probably in licenced.
More supposition and guesswork?The advice was to speak to council and police first, thereby covering the ops back.
That you should put so much faith in the Council and Police to both understand housing law and apply it in the OPs best interests shows how little you understand.Here's a little article about EOs http://m.england.shelter.org.uk/get_advice/private_renting/private_renting_agreements/excluded_occupiers
Fascinating, but irrelevant.0 -

No they don't.0 -
A cleaning and laundry service might be included.
If it is a HMO, and it sounds like it is, the LL is responsible for cleaning the shared areas of the property.
Has anyone enquired about this with the OP? I'm reliably informed that every avenue has been explored, yet I still don't know what services may be provided. Does he get his room cleaned regularly? His bedding changed? etc etc etc.... Sounds petty, but it makes all the difference when posters are being advised to force entry.0 -

How little I understand? Ok... Uve proven nothing. Now either explain clearly why the op is an EO, or accept that you are wrong.
Meanwhile I advised the op to print of the legislation to explain to police, I posted a link to explain who is an EO. It probably is unlicensed as the LL is claiming to live there!0 -

Afraid ur wrong again, it's whatever the contract says. If it said 48, and the person really was an EO. He has contractual rights to 48 hours notice!0 -

What do either of those have to do with either EO or a HMO?0 -

You mentioned excluded occupiers. I am merely pointing out that the possibility of the op having a license to occupy rather than a tenancy has not been explored. I would have thought it wise to establish that before suitable advise could be offered, wouldn't you? Particularly when that advice seems to be to force entry.0 -

Ok explain under what criteria he only has a licence to occupy.0
