Thank you all for your help on this matter the landlord has many opportunities to refurbish the place and get some respectable people to move in I've seen with my own 2 eyes the condition the place is in you get what you pay for as the saying goes and i don't think it's contracted through the council the conditions are way below par for there standard's - so buy it, do it up and let it out yourself and the sheer amount of people who have lived there in 3 years just shows what's been happening the street at times has had to come together - and do what? what does that even mean? it's been shocking the alcoholic moved out last week he didn't bother anyone it's been really quiet but in the last few days there's been 5,6 lads in and out and 4 of them where sniffing something in the kitchen - how would you know this? I mean why would someone be watching them in the kitchen the landlord has got to take responsibility for all of this for the fact that no background Checks at all - The landlord couldn't get a DBS check, even if they wanted to have been the conditions of the house are shocking and its simply just rent to the nearest person basically as for being evicted I highly doubt that it's more likely prison for what there doing on the streets and once 1 lot goes another comes in

Going to prison doesn't end a tenancy.
But - it does change your LL
Best contacting your council - different councils will have different procedures. ~ with some LLs have to be registered. Getting the council to actually do something can be harder (then they have to do something) but as previously posted your local councilor/MP etc. If law is broken, report to police and keep records of what you've reported and when - will help with your complaint to council/MP etc (otherwise you can be seen as just another constituent having a moan). It's a long stressful process (or can be depending on who you're dealing with).0 -
Indeed: Note this case...Going to prison doesn't end a tenancy.Amoah v Barking and Dagenham LBC, 2001.
Mr Amoah was a secure tenant. On 18 April 1997, he was sentenced to 12 years’ imprisonment. He left items of furniture in the property and appointed a relative to act as ‘caretaker’ in his absence. The council served a notice to quit and obtained a possession order on the basis that Mr Amoah had lost his status as a secure tenant.
Mr Amoah appealed successfully. Etherton J held that he had retained his secure status.0 -
Call me a nosy neighbour all you want at the end of the day I'll be watching anyone with a fixed gaze after what I've seen and heard coming from that house! my sister has to walk to school when there's been needles lying about! Listen I didn't come on here to questioned and criticized and if they go to prison why would the landlord still keep there tenecy?0

That's rather different, though - it's a SECURE tenancy, not an AST. If it'd been an AST, he'd just have been issued s21 notice, and so long as the basics were up to date, the tenancy would end.0

Listen I didn't come on here to questioned and criticized and if they go to prison why would the landlord still keep there tenecy?
It seems you came hear to have your views reinforced, im sorry but clearly many don't agree with you. Take from that what you will.
Legally a tenancy doesn't end when someone goes to prison, it's no different to them renting two properties/going on holiday/whatever.0 -

Indeed, but that is not the point being made.
The tenancy continues until legally ended. The act of imprisonment does not end it0
