Today I learned that if someone owes you more money than most people make in a year, and it's going up by £4,000 a month, doing something about it is "ruthless".

We don't know exactly who the landlord is.

If it was a council, a housing association or even a pension fund etc, then I would have some sympathy with them. Because at the end of the day it's going to have a negative effect on ordinary people.

But if it's just some wealthy individual who has inherited a load of money, never really worked and is just out to extract rent from ordinary people's wages (including via LHA etc), then I wouldn't have any sympathy.

But we don't know the whole story.

Yes Rosemary, I am already looking for a place. On Monday I will make calls for viewings etc so I cannot move faster than that. In the meantime I think that if I make applications to appeal or suspend the warrant, these might get rejected but they cannot execute the warrant until these are heard by a judge. It]s just a tactic to win some more time. I was just hoping someone would have some specific advice in that regard. For example, I have read online that the HCEO can only act if the landlord obtains a writ of possession from the High Court. The landlord must also give me notice of making an application for a writ of possession. I have not received such a notice. Therefore from the legal point of view it's incorrect what some people are saying here that the HCEO will just arrive with no notice and chuck me out into the street.

The possession order also says the High Court must give me at least 48 hours' notice. If I get that instead of the notice of application of the writ of possession, then I have a 48 hour period to apply for the suspension of that warrant. It will be rejected, but it will probably take them a week to consider the matter.

As I receive Universal Credit I don't have to pay court fees and I get Legal Aid so I should talk to someone on Monday on Legal Aid to consider these matters, don't you think?

Well it seems like you want to play it "by the book", so good luck to you.

If that's aimed at me, take note that I said "we don't know who the landlord is".

I would not support any kind of squatting etc, that had a negative effect on people on housing waiting lists etc. Because even though the allocation is far from perfect, it's not for individuals to put themselves ahead of people who may have greater need.

Same goes for hitting people's pension funds etc.

Yes, then the rest of the post tailored your attitude to sweeping generalisations...

Like it matters? He/she* might have a mortgage of £2500 per month, or have worked damn hard and paid it off. I presume the market rent price was fair? The OP obviously did, as he entered into a tenancy agreement. Are you seriously saying that if the property is owned by someone who inherited wealth its ok to just not pay?


OP when did you become ill and start using savings to cover your rent and living costs?

Whatever the answer to that question is that's my suggestion for when to start looking to move. probably a year ago.

Flux capacitor anyone?

Well of course it's a generalisation, because we don't know the details or even the truth.

?

You're contradicting yourself. They may have worked hard or inherited it. It could have been bought by a foreign money launderer. We don't know the details.

It's pointless speculating about who the landlord is.
If the property is in London, it could be required for a fireman, policeman, teacher etc who works nearby. In that case, then no - it should not be occupied by an unwell person who would be better off somewhere else (as we have hospitals etc everywhere).

Obviously, this is the reason the government appoint judges to hear these kind of cases, rather than juries. That avoids the general public having too much say in the matter. Because the public will consider the wider picture, whereas judges only care about what the rulebook says.

But you won't find the mainstream media mentioning this...
