So the LL is about to have his house re-possessed because the tenant owes thousands in rent. Hmm :sad::sad:
The LL is going to have his investment property repossessed because they failed to maintain payments. That's irrespective of the tenant. It's one of the pitfalls of being a LL0 -

If you run a business and your customers don't pay you, at one point you will go bust.
Same for landlords and tenants. Karma being that tenant ends up on the street as well.0 -
OP, in most cases (including claims for money) apers are valid if served to the defendant's last known address. It is irrelevant that the claimant knows that you are no longer at that address.
So yes, your landlord can take you to court, and, if you don't respond to the claim, a CCJ can be made against you, which may cause you problems in the future if you ever return to the UK. (CCJs don't lapse, so it won't fall off your record, no matter how long you stay away.)
Depending on how much he cares, he may also be able to pursue you elsewhere.
Pay what you owe, and if you feel that the landlord owes you, take advice about the proper way to address that.All posts are my personal opinion, not formal advice Always get proper, professional advice (particularly about anything legal!)0 -

How do you know the Landlord hasn't been paying the mortgage while the tenant has been bouncing the rent or are you just making things up?
Anyway, thread has served its purpose, OP didn't get the answer they were looking for so will no doubt not be back."Dream World" by The B Sharps....describes a lot of the posts in the Loans and Mortgage sections !!!0 -
Is that correct?(CCJs don't lapse, so it won't fall off your record, no matter how long you stay away.)
According to this (old) thread
https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/65025
although CCJs don't lapse the record of it disappears after 6 years so it wouldn't show up on credit searches after that time. (see post no 10)0 -

I read it as by the bank - i think others did too0 -
my current address will be repossessed by my awful landlord very soon and the only person who is getting the court papers will be my awful landlord himself if he uses my current address.
I must of read it wrong them....
