Awaiting eviction vulnerable tenant.
Comments

You have posted a ribbon of excuses for not paying your way
Your landlord is just a person with bills to pay and NONE of your excuses should be visited upon them
You were given sufficient notice because you were on notice of eviction from the day YOU decided to stop paying rentI'm a vulnerable tenant a.....I have a chronic medical
condition ........I became bankrupt .......I am not able to pay my rent.
....... I could not attend [court] because ....... Central London county court is very slow ........Only today I have received the order........... I have not been given sufficient notice. ....If I ruled the world.......0 -
AdrianC you’re a jerk. I’m unwell and vulnerable. The stress of the first hearing made me so ill I had to call 999 and I was rushed to hospital. I am completely unable to work or handle stressful situations. I used to earn a lot of money but now I can’t do anything. So if I’m not vulnerable I don’t know who is. It might not be in your definition but I don’t care.
I cannot be treated with an impending threat of bailiffs without having mire time to look for accommodation. A situation like that could actually be life-threatening.0 -

AdrianC: you obviously do not understand the English language. I’m not saying it’s unfair that I’m evicted. If fact I accept it is the inevitable.
I’m saying it’s unfair not to be notified of the outcome of a hearing I was unable to attend only to send me a letter (yesterday) to tell me to vacate by a date in the past. THAT is unfair and ridiculous.
Wouldn’t you say it would be ridiculous if you receive a bill dated 20 June telling you you must pay by 5 June or else?0 -
It's all very well some posters on here saying string it out, poor you etc to the op but the landlord here is going to be nearly £40,000 down with legal and bailliff fees - what about him?
I don't know how anyone has got the cheek to think they can live somewhere for nothing - you can't live anywhere for nothing, and parasite tenants like the op make it harder for genuine tenants that want to pay their rent.0 -

no,not at all, you've had months on end to deal with this, the sooner you are evicted the better.0 -
Bobby: my landlord lives in Rome living the high life. He’s not stressed by my not paying. Otherwise I’d have moved long ago to avoid his hardship. He made a lot of money in the city and my payment of rent kept him in his early retirement in Rome but I don’t think he’s impoverished by my not paying.
I know it’s not nice but given that it’s loose change to him I chose to string this along, which I think I can, for a bit longer if possible.0 -
No one gave him the high life though, he earned it. An it doesn't matter how much money he has or hasn't got - it's his money not yours.
The sooner you are evicted the better, you can't live anywhere for free.0 -
And we're back to the class war. From somebody who could afford £48k/year rent out of post-tax income, before illness struck and he failed to make allowances for his changed circumstances.0

You and the "Chav from Hell" (former neighbour) have a great deal in common, it seems to me, OP. She managed over 18 months rent-free. You're not even trying.
Then, we are not in central London so presumably the courts there are a little more on the ball than those in this backwater.
