...also is the reply above further adding to harassment? I must say my partner is becoming very upset and worried over all this.

You don't need to milk it, if your partner is upset and worried you should be able to easily reassure him/her as you know full well there is nothing to worry about.

Just get on with it and make your offer, or have you already done that?

We didn't want to go down this route but your aggressive emails and threats plus withholding rent for tax purposes and refusal to accept notice has given us no choice. We have a baby arriving and at this point in time will be arriving to no home.

We now suggest you also seek legal advice. At the end of the day, we need our property back for [Wifes] return to the UK and we will be able to gain possession. If you wish to come to an arrangement before the court hearing please let us know."

Wait, has the story changed? I thought it was the DIL?

The bolded tells you all you need to know.

He's a bluffer, out of his depth, panicking.

If he had any confidence at all in what he was claiming, if he really thought you were behaving criminally and that he could get you out in 2 months legally, why on earth would he want to 'come to an arrangement'? :rotfl:

Have you made him another offer yet?

Ignore the bluster, just make your offer, safe in the knowledge that he pretty much has to accept it if he wants his house back anytime soon.

Maybe, although I think it is completely plausible that HMRC's record keeping is sub par, both in the case that the LL really is registered and in terms of keeping records (or telling other parties) who called when.

Assuming the only rent withheld has been the tax, I believe the correct response, either to the LL or to the court, is to show proof that you paid to HMRC in good faith and that it's LL's responsibility to claim it back through a tax return.

Again, though, it's time to think about what you want. Eventually you'll have to move. You can try to drag things out to make life miserable for the landlord, or try to twist the knife to make a quick buck, but what's the point? Find somewhere else to move, and get the landlord to agree to compensation so that you're not out of pocket for doing so. Don't forget to include your time when calculating your out of pocket expenses.

Easier said then done. My partner and I are very different when it comes to matters like this.

I have made an offer as per previous posts but this has not been accepted.

The whole story is fishy to be honest, why would you fly back so late in a pregnancy? I think there is another agenda here. Maybe financial... oops i've said to much.

A lot has happened since then.

If you actually want to resolve the situation, make another offer, be firm and clear but not aggressive. He'll give you what you want, you move out and move on with your life.

If you are in fact just loving the drama, or making all this up (I gave you the benefit of the doubt earlier in the thread but I'm not so sure now) then carry on as you are I suppose.

Conversion with LL when I picked up the keys in August.

As for making this up.... are you serious? Come on do people really do that? This thread is 100% genuine.

Thank you for all your help so far, there has been ALOT of good information for anyone in the same position as me. :beer:

Mr NiceGuy_007 i'm not personally suggesting you are anything but genuine.

Your initial post stated the email from landlord says their son and his wife (landlord's DIL) lives with them in the UAE which indicates she is residing over there as as such would not be eligible for free nhs services.

They are expecting to have their cake and eat it at uk tax payers expense. Whether she hasn't lived there long is irrelevant she is no longer domiciled in the uk and as such should have adequate health insurance to cover her.

The fact they intend abusing the nhs and our taxpayers is why you are suffering this from your landlord.

Oh yes, they definitely do, and the stories tend to get more dramatic and more fantastical over time. Every new development 'ups the ante', easy solutions are ignored or made impossible by changes to the story, so maybe you can see why I have my doubts.

If you are genuine, then I think you've had enough advice on the thread to bring this to a very sensible and satisfactory conclusion, so good luck with doing that.
