And Nelly is saying work out how many weeks rent amount to the same as your deposit.

Did you got through agent?

How much was your deposit?

in order to claim 3x your deposit you will have to take her to court - without an address for her you cannot do that.

Presactly. That's why you need to ask for the address. You cannot take someone to court without being able to serve papers. That requires an address.
Get the address. Or stay in the property for as long as you like? No address = no tenancy = squatting = free rent.

I'm not sure if I agree with squatting, but then again i don't agree with LLs who won't be straight with tenants.

Get her car registration number and obtain her address from the DVLA citing serving CC papers as a reason.

I have no idea if this would work or not.

P.S. If she is committing a criminal offence as said before, why not go to the police with the car reg number and let them do the work?

Just a couple of thoughts here.

1. If the LR details show a mortgage lender, why not contact them as they may have an up to date address. The LL may not have informed them that the property is let, but you do have very genuine reasons for finding out the address.

2. Regardless of anything else, contacting the TRO is not a bad idea - they may well have had dealings with this lady before.

3. Many local areas have LLs associations - again the TRO will know of these, and might lead to info about this lady. Most LLs are decent people (Silence at the back there!) and dislike rogue landlords.

4. Has any tradesman come to the house during the tenancy - they will know the address.

5. Perhaps suggest to the LL when you see her that you might contact HMRC for details of her address as she won't provide it.

6. I stress that I am not a lawyer but it is just possible that communications and summons sent to the address might well be considered valid service as this is the address for service given to the LR. Worth checking this idea out, or any comments from other MSEs?

7. It looks as though the LL has lived at this address at some time as there is no other address with the LR. Presumably you have made a few discrete enquiries with neighbours.

Please let us know how you get on.
