  1. Hi,Just an update on the situation. After consulting shelter who could not assist us as we were not entitled to legal aid we have decided to let the landlord get away with it for now.The cost would just be too much for solicitors to proceed with this matter as we will need all our money for moving.The judge states i have to be out this week(friday) but we have no option to prolong it ie the bailiffs. Last week my landlord gained access with my permission and she would like to gain access again this weekend between 9am and 2pm as she wants the gas man to service the heating.Are my able to tell her that she can only gain access once every 4 weeks or did i read that wrong somewhere else??? if its for the gas man then can i tell her to come back during normal working hours ie mon-fri??? Or can i tell her that she cant come in but the gas man is ok to gaib access?? I just cant wait til i move from this house as the whole situationis so depressing. Thanks Michael.
  2. The owner of the property who is the landlady and myself signed the contract. we contacted Shelter today as as Kentonlass stated we should do(thanks for that),we explained the situation and they could not believe what was going on,we are now waiting for the specialist people in our area to contact us to arrange an appointment.We also contacted our local council who we are keeping them up too date and also they could not believe the situation. We asked the court if we could make an appointment to speak to the judge but that was a no no. I still would love to know why the judge proceeded with the eviction notice known fine well that the section 21 was invalid??? If the judge has made this decision can he reverse the decision or when you appeal does it go to the same judge or a different judge? I will keep you updated on the situation as the days go on.
  3. The landlord has always stated that our deposit will be returned when we leave the property,we have advised her that we can claim compensation fron her as she stated that her solicitor has told her that will be dealt with at a later date!! The letter of eviction from the court also states that she is not really entitled to repay me the deposit as her ex boyfriend took control of all the money.I also received a copy of the letter sent to the court by our landlord and basically it is a whole load of lies stating that we never paid the deposit to her and it was paid to the boy friend(which it wasnt).She had signed the tennancy agreement when i handed her the money.What really annoys me and the wife is that the law is there to protect us as tennants and this so called district judge has totally over ruled that law and seems to of taken pitty on this woman,so why on earth was this law introduced?It now seems as though all my neighbours are against me and my family as none of them speak now and other children in the street are saying to my children that we are supposed to of been moved out by now.I have the option to see my solicitor again to fight this case but is it worth the extra expence to just delay it for a couple of months,i will need my money for when i do move and christmas is just around the corner. Tomorrow we will contact the court and ask to see this district judge for an explanation on his decision,wether thats allowed or not but i feel that im owed an explanation at least. The local council use a banding scheme but there is not very many houses available in my area.
  4. also i would like to add that the property is in the name of the landlady only and all documents were signed between myself and the landlady only.
  5. Hi, Ok this may be a long storey but i would really epreciate any help and advice from anyone. On the 1st March this year we rented a home from a couple who were getting into the property game,Me,My wife and 3 kids all moved to the property on the above date,the deposit and a months rent in advance was paid and everything was signed by the landlady.3 months down the line the landlady and her boy friend split up.the landlady wants her house back,a section 21 was served and expired on the 1st September we later found out that the deposit was not paid in to the goverment protection scheme,we found out that the landlady was going for an accelerated eviction,our solicitor told us that she could not do it as she has not paid the bond money into the scheme and the landlady could be prosecuted for purgery.anyway we got a letter from the courts telling us what has happened and this morning we received an eviction notice from the court,we explained the situation to the judge on the reply forms about the non payment of the bond money,anyhow the judge has went in favour of the landlady as she has told the courts that it was her boyfriend who took all the money and sorted everything out for the tennancy,i now have 4 weeks from the day to find a property and the local council are not very helpful. I would really epreciate any help or advice on this as me and the wife are very close to the breaking point. Many Thanks Michael.
