    I'm a landlord in Cambridge, not the "other place".

    Sadly, I have no rooms at the moment. There is a stable block, and that's empty. There's light from above, from a bulb, of course. The OP might have to share with a passing oxen or sheep, and I can't guarantee single occupancy, as there are three bright academics in the house who might drop in over Xmas. I'm sure they'll bring pressies.

    Hope this helps the OP at this time of year.

    This has made me laugh so much - it must be one of the most amusing threads I've ever seen on this board.

    Great that (almost) everyone is joining in with such unusually good humour too. Must be Christmas! ;)

    The law might protect her but the police might not. There have been incidences where the police have actively assisted landlords with illegal evictions. If that were to happen I'd be taking note of Plods collar number and be making a complaint to the IPCC.

    Just remind the police of

    Naughton v. Whittle and Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police

    So because a few silly people have made fake posts on this thread, you are assuming the OP isn't genuine and possibly in a very awful situation?
    I hope you're all having fun
