Situation

[Geoff Clement]

If what you say is correct then i cant see how they have any rights at all, i think i would consider immediate eviction based on the fact that you think they will damage your property further, they have commited a crime already by lying to get into the property its called " a PECUNARY ADVANTAGE", i think that is applicable hear, and you have to put pressure on the police to take action on it, as they say its a civil offence, but it is a criminal offence i think.
Although i advocated the legal route as its developed i think i would be worried its getting out of control by sub-letting, as someone said earlyer, fill the place with bikers and a bit of muscle, before they move women and kids in, see what your nieghbour cop thinks.

Just another point Jerry, you have got to protect your property from more neglect or damage, at this moment i dont think i would accept any payment because that would show approval of the situatuion, just go for eviction mate. any way you choose.

My old neighbour is a cop and were mates, he agrees that they might be illegal but dont think the police will listen.

Jerry...if the Police can't act the immigration officials can !!!! Call 'em !!!!!

Not wishing to be paranegative about this but Oh, Quiney and Sandra... how familiar the wording of the clauses Quiney has quoted above. Are they from the standard Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreement..? From what I remember they are, or something very similar.

In short, what I discovered in my case was that the wording in the agreement counts for absolutely nothing when it comes to dispute. Zilch. Not a bean. Everything has to be decided on, approved by, and pronounced by the court which takes months despite the wording of the contract and by however much the tenants might be in breach of said contract.

I was stunned when my solicitor explained that to me. My tenants were in breach on several accounts, non payment being just one. According to the contract, duly agreed upon and signed by the tenant, I could evict them with four weeks notice. It's there in black and white, I argued with him. But it still took 19 months. There are procedures and various periods of notice that even the solicitor is bound to serve before he can even apply for a date of hearing. Even that takes god knows how many weeks. One of the notices he has to issue before he applies for a court hearing is formal notice to the tenant that he intends to apply for a court hearing... and if I remember rightly the tenant has several weeks notice just to acknowledge this tiny part of the bigger scale of events ahead.

I STILL cant understand for the life of me how such a tightly written contract can mean so little when one or more of it's clauses are broken. The clauses just provide you with the route you are going to take when at the court stage. They are procedural... the court must apply them. :bang:

Amazing innit??

If you let it to a `supposed` Ltd company and that Ltd Company doesnt actually exist then surely you have not let it to anyone in real terms.
It surely is attemped fraud by deception, also according to the housing act 1988 it sais that "for there to be security of tenure of rented accommodation
certain basis rules must be applicable.

For protection there must be a letting of a dwelling house as a seperate dwelling.
* it must be let under a lease and not a licence
*the tenant must be an individual, i.e. COMPANY LETS ARE NOT PROTECTED!!!


"COMPANY LETS, are excluded from the provisions of the rent acts, the company rents the accommodation and its employees who live there is a mere licensee." Question? are they employees?, if not then you can chuck em out i would have thought.




Mandatory grounds for eviction, The courts HAVE to order possession.

Ground 8. There are arrears of rent which exceed , *13 weeks if paid fortnightly *three months if paid monthly.

Hope this may be of some help.
