Pingu Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 just a quick note NEVER withold rent. It automatically means YOU have breached your tennancy and gives the landlord all sorts of upper hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheryl33 Posted June 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 hey guys just thought I would give you an update, some of you are aware x Following the court date which I couldn't attend ddue to work, I have been given till 30 June to move out. The mortgage company were not aware he was renting the flat out, which I assume is illegal. They are repossessing it as he is thousands in arrears. Luckily I have found a house down the road in the same village, more expensive but I can move in next week. xx lets hope this one is better!

BillyMalc Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 That bloke's a d1ck, but I'm glad that you've found somewhere nearby that you can move into so soon. You know I do really admire you for always just getting on with it and being able to find a home and a job - something that a lot of people don't ever seem to manage! What's the new house like and what's your job at the mo? You enjoying it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 Well done, and thank goodness you only have to move down the road. Hope you have a hassle-free tenancy. PS I share Billy's admiration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheryl33 Posted June 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 I have to Billy cos I'm not entitled to any benefits and the only relative I can rely on who'd take me in with the dogs in my Aunt in Hampshire. As much as I love her, I want to stay up here. The new house in about two mins walk where I am now and its bootifully decorated inside. The girl that lives in there at the mo as a dog as well, but she's having a sprog so wants a bigger house. The only downside is that is doesnt have a garden, just a small yard, but its opposite the field where we walk. I'm working in a call centre (boohiss) for a utilities company, so I get discounted gas and leccy too Phebes I think he had to have a clause or something in the mortgage?

lester Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Did you get a chance to approach the mortgage people to discuss the possibilities. I do know of a couple of cases where the illegal tenants has ended up with a good deal. Anyway all the best with the new house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lester Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 (edited) Isn't your deposit with one of the legal schemes? You may have to hassle for paperwork to show them ,, from the mortgage co. If the house is reposessed your ex- landlord cannot except any payment for same. If whoever granted you permission to remain until a given date ( i.e. the court ) didnt make an order for any payment you are on a winner, legally.
