landlord has not pay me anything on the court order

Is this the same LL that you owed rent too , which came to more than the deposit? Did you skip the country like you planned too?
Does he deserve to be made bankrupt when you were both obviously in the wrong?

Without any information to the contrary.., I am wondering if this is a 'professional tenant'.

If he owns property and you believe he has sufficient equity.
You can serve a Statutory demand, it costs £800 and gets added to his bill.
He has to pay in 28 days or he becomes bankrupt, assets are seized by the receiver and sold to pay his debts.

One option.

Bankruptcy proceedings only for individual debts over £5000.

If the landlord is in Scotland you can get a rent arrestment order which is served on a (new or existing) tenant in his rental property / properties
This makes it a legal requirement for the tenant to pay the monies due in rent to the sheriff until the decree is satisfied

So dodgy that they can send the complaints to your previous address :f you have no way of arguing against the claims then! Is this true though? A Google says "If this was the last address known to the claimant, the judgment will be valid unless they had reason to believe you had moved"...if they've changed the locks they'd know you had moved

Complaints? You mean serve court papers? - Well if it's as simple as moving to avoid all your debts, then no-one would ever lend any unsecured money.


The point is the judgment will be valid until the respondent (the tenant in this case) gets a set aside from the county court. Which is not guaranteed.

But presumably it would be considered unreasonable for a LL to send papers to an address they know you don't live at if they have your phone number and don't bother informing you via phone about any issues?

Notices, courts papers etc are served either by hand delivery (usually by bailiffs) or by post.


Phones are irrelevant. There is no obligation to inform.


If worried, leave a forwarding address with a LL.
