    • Update 15th March the eviction notice period expired, and I paid my next month rent along with sending them the message discussed above. After a short while they just emailed me back this dry phrase "Thank you for your email." In two weeks' time I'm gonna need to pay the rent again, and I have such a feeling that shortly after that date the contracts will be exchanged and all the payments will be made.  Now my main concern is, if possible, not to end up paying rent after I move out.  
    • they cant 'take away' anything, what ever makes you believe that?  dx  
    • The text on the N1SDT Claim Form 1.The claim is for breaching the terms and conditions set on private land. 2. The defendant's vehicle, NumberPlate, was identified in the Leeds Bradford Airport Roadways on the 28/07/2023 in breach of the advertised terms and conditions; namely Stopping in a zone where stopping is prohibited 3.At all material times the Defendant was the registered keeper and/or driver. 4. The terms and conditions upon  entering private land were clearly displayed at the entrance and in prominent locations 5. The sign was the offer and the act of entering private land was the acceptance of the offer hereby entering into a contract by conduct. 6.The signs specifically detail the terms and conditions and the consequences of failure to comply,  namely a parking charge notice will be issued, and the Defendant has failed to settle the outstanding liability. 7.The claimant seeks the recovery of the parking charge notice, contractual costs and interest.   This is what I am thinking of for the wording of my defence The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and are generic in nature which fails to comply with CPR 16.4. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 1. Paragraph 1 is denied. It is denied that the Defendant ever entered into a contract to breach any terms and conditions of the stated private land. 2. Paragraph 2 and 4 are denied. As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance. The Claimant was only contracted to provide car park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner. 3. It is admitted that Defendant is the recorded keeper of the vehicle. 4.  Paragraph 6 is denied the claimant has yet to evidence that their contract with the landowner supersedes  Leeds Bradford airport byelaws. Further it is denied that the Claimant’s signage is capable of creating a legally binding contract. 5. Paragraph 7 is denied, there are no contractual costs and interest cannot be accrued on a speculative charge.   I'm not sure whether point 4 is correct as I think this side road is not covered by byelaws? Any other suggestions/corrections would be appreciated.

    • Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

Hi

We have just moved to a rented property (2 months now) and the landlady wants to evict us.

She has said that we have deceived her to get into the property,

we are in the property illegally as we have not signed her inventory dated 2012,

 

 

now she is saying that the tenancy agreement was only proposed and now she is saying we have trashed the property and her representative will inspect it and if we do not co-operate they have keys and will enter anyway.

 

 

Also she said it was our responsibility to register our own deposit.

She will not accept phone calls and her letters sent to us are quite nasty and she loves her red pen to underline all the words

 

It was rented through an estate agents,

we have been in contact with them but I think they are scared of her

 

She has never met us and I do not think she has been to the property for a number of years.

 

 

I would like to sue her as she knew before we moved in that we wanted to rent long term and she was more than happy to take our money.

We have no money to move as we put it all into this property.

 

I would like practical and legal advise please.

There is no truth to her accusations.

The only information I can give is that she said in her letter that we deceived her.

We have damaged the property and

not registered our own deposit and

we have not signed her inventory which she had done in 2012.

 

 

it was rented through an estate agents

all legal and above board and

 

 

the landlady is managing the property herself.

Which is going to be difficult to get any repairs done as she will not talk to us.

She or the estate agents are meant to register the deposit. How does she allege you have damaged the property. Why do you say you cant give more info.

 

One other question, and please dont take offence. Are you a british national? I ask this, because there are rogue landlords that hate the fact some nationalities are renting their property. Theres a few of them near where i live that are currently under investigation.

 

As i said before, we need much more info. Such as what exactly is she saying is damaged.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

Hi, I do not know why my landlady has said we have deceived her, she does not put that information in her letter. I have my own ideas but no proof and yes for something as important as renting a property my husband and I have have been 100% honest, there is no other way. You will get caught out if you are not honest.

you are aware that there are different types of tenancies so what sort did you sign and was the agreement with her directly or via a letting agent? If an AST then 6 months will be the minimum letting period. You have been told that the deposit must be kept via a licenced deposit scheme. If she hasnt done this you can sue her for failing to safeguard the deposit and she may have to pay you up to 3 times the sum in damages.

You say that you refused to sign an inventory dated 2012. Do you at east have a copy of that and did you request that a current one be done on moving in or at least going through the old one with a fine toothed comb to see what is right or wriog with it. Even this old one would ahve given you some proof of the state of things, especially of you made notes ans signed the amendment.

Hi, it was an initial 6 month tenancy agreement and it is with the estate agents, we have signed the infantry that the estate agents gave us but we have not seen her infantry, we have not refused to sign hers, we have not had a copy of it. the estate agents also have comments regarding the damage. But she says the infantry the estate agents gave us is not legal. Also she has had the property completely renovated since 2012, which she has not seen as far as i am aware.

 

From speaking to neighbours she has a habit of evicting her tenants for no reason.

she can evict AFTER the initial tenancy if she wants. Also, check that deposit is secured, if not, shes gonna owe you a lot of money.

 

She really sounds like a rogue landlord tbh.

 

Also, please answer previous questions in the thread.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

the inventory done by the agent trumps the old one from 2012 so she is talking out of her hat about that. I suspect that she hasnt bothered to acquaint herslef with any of the information and knowledge she needs to be a successful landlord and so will make your life miserable due to her ignorance. Start looking for somewhere else to live but learn about your rights and her responsibilities before that time so you can leave with a few hundred pounds in your pocket to help with your settling in elsewhere.

answer the questions about the situation and find out if the deposit is protected. If it isnt you acn atart legal action over that whilst you are still there, you just get less compensation

She cannot start eviction proceedings until the original 6 months is up.

 

If you have paid a deposit then she cannot evict you until the deposit has been protected.

 

If the deposit was paid more than 30 days ago then failure to protect it means that you can sue her and win back the deposit plus a sum between 1 and 3 times the deposit.

 

Given her threats you could consider changing the locks. Also make sure you keep copies of the contract in a safe place away from the property. This is in case she comes in and locks you out. If she does this then the Police may wish to see it before they force her to let you back in.

 

Otherwise, consider ignoring her letters. If there is no gas safety and energy certificate you could consider requesting a council inspection. They will issue an improvement notice to fix this and other issues.
