Any agent or landlord worth their salt would have served a Section 21 alongside the section 8. If the section 8 fails or becomes void they can then fall back to the Sec 21. Also re the G17, G 12 would have been a better option, still discretional but a better bet.

It’s too early for the landlord to serve a Section 21 because the fixed term ends in November. Any Section 21 served now wouldn’t be valid. 

Ah I missed when the tenancy started when I posted

Easy done in such a long thread

I take on board your comments however this is still under investigation and I can’t comment further until the investigation is completed. Please bear with us whilst this takes place.  

Is this possibly because your friend, whose income is a grand total of £390 a month, is somehow renting a property with a rent of £1,250pcm?

She’s gone through her notice papers and they haven’t included the rental statement ? Does that mean notice is valid ?


and when she pays off the arrears in full this week will the notice expire? as there is no arrears 

she’s going to pay December January and February so basically 3 months rent this week 

The rental statement is good practice, to show the court the LL has done everything before escalating to court and incurring the fees etc. However its not 100% required and as long as the LL can prove the 2+ months arrears, they will get a possession order. 

The issue is if friend really wanted to pay rent on time, then they'd have paid it as soon as the account got unlocked. Was that really *today* since you mention she can now pay the arrears? They wouldn't have waited for the notice or to write a letter, or just for this week to start. 

She rang agents today and asked to speak to the women and they said not in till tomorrow and she said to the man on the phone can you tell me more please and he said no got to wait Until that girl is in office tomorrow 

why did she need to speak to someone before paying?

Right the rent was not paid  because HER BANK ACCOUNT . Got shut for fraud and all her Funds got taken hence why she couldn’t pay the rent. The landlord and estate agent knew about this. 

The estate agents colleague emailed her today and said wait for the girl who’s dealing with this to come in tomorrow so that they can talk and sort this out. 

Does that now sound a bit better? 

How long has she had access to her bank account back? That was the day she should have paid the arrears, that is what everyone is saying not that she didn't have access in the past.

Surely she doesn't phone every month to pay the rent, she should have paid the rent them spoken to the LA about the notice.

**yes I know I've come in too late to the party**

I've been hoping that the OP was going to return to this one today with a "and it all ended up happily ever after" conclusion, but I see not so far. Still, it leaves plenty of time to read some of their other threads... 

she paid the rent arrears

It's difficult to say, without knowing the other side of the conversation. 

First bit was about paying rent 

second bit was about the false info to gain tenancy 

Long thread so I may have missed it, but...

do we know what information which was allegedly false was given to gain the tenancy? And presumably this is the aim of the 'investigation' that is ongoing yes?

YoungBlueEyes

I might have missed it but I don’t think it’s been mentioned what the false info was about. No clarity on the investigation either. 

All a bit of a nothing in the end tbh. The ‘empty house across the road’ one was better!

You can't expect the OP to know all the details. After all, she is just 'asking for a friend'.

Bit of bad news the Landlord still wants posession 

Standingstrong

The landlord is presently of mind to commence possession proceedings upon expiry of the notice. If you intend to make a rent payment, that would be received gratefully. The payment details are as follows:
