They get £1700 per month £1300 allocated for rent.ReadySteadyPop said:
Problem is if they are doing it illegally (i.e living somewhere else and getting UC to pay off rent arrears to avoid a CCJ) UC might want you to return any payments you get? UC can summon people for interview to prove they live somewhere, you as their landlord would need to sign a recent tenancy agreement to bring as proof to the interview.Zoe02 said:
Before the mobile rang as though abroad but now rings normally but been several times no one living there.ReadySteadyPop said:
How are they still getting UC if they have abandoned the property and gone abroad?Zoe02 said:
Good luck to tenant 😂theartfullodger said:
The easy bit is getting court judgement. The much harder bit is collecting the loot. Good luck (to both landlord and tenants)Zoe02 said:
No, priority for now is getting pisession and arrears.ReadySteadyPop said:
Do you have another tenant lined up?Zoe02 said:No defence filed next is pisession and bailiffs.
The tenant is a waste of time because i have a feeling he has moved out but not communicating. Last paid rent in January.
S8 and s21 filed.
I will be chasing the debt with small claims.
Direct rent payment application now successful so May's rent will be made 90%.
Court Judgment can take time but been lucky going quickly and smoothly. No defence.
If non-payment will be getting ccj for 6 years. Direct rent payment from universal credit has been successful so that's some progress.
Not sure how they are doing it. Maybe he is in jail or something but don't know. Contacted council tax they are paying I think.

@Zoe02 when I said "Serve notice" of inspection I meant officially by post as is probably described in the tenancy agreement. Notice is then officially served even though the letter probably joins the pile on the mat. No chance for the T to object if indeed they are absent as suspected.However if the locks have already been changed it is a mute point.1
