Help Needed Urgently.Court Order For This Friday

[revdrun]

A house was rented for my family and I to occupy as a family home. This was done in my Companies name and I also had somone act as guarantor.

Unfortunately due to financial restraints experienced by my company we have fallen into serious rent arrears.

Consequently the house we are renting has been granted a possession order. The court has ordered that the defendant give the claimant possession of offices which we do not own, we rent an office space within a building, but do not own the building or office. The court has ordered that we vacate our offices on or before the 11th April 2008. The court has also ordered the defendant which is my company and the guarantor to pay the full sum of the arrears plus charges of £37.81 per day from April 23rd 2008, until possession of the property (in this case our rented office) to the claimant (our landlord). The court has also ordered that the first and second defendant pay the claimaints costs, such costs to be assessed if not agreed. The costs against the second defendant to be on an indemnity basis.

 

The order of possession is against our rented offices!! Should it not be for the house we were renting? There is no mention of the house we were renting on the order of possession. We have vacated the house. PLEASE HELP THIS IS ALL GOING TO HAPPEN ON OR BEFORE FRIDAY 11TH APRIL 2008. THANKYOU

bump anyone. this is probably complex. do you owe money on both rents? Are the LLs the same?

 

Has the claimant gone for the office to be vindictive? Maybe the court or the claimant avoided the house because your family lived there.

 

I don't know what to suggest except an emergency meeting with a housing expert (solicitor.) Maybe find a firm with such a specialist ( from the community legal service website or the law society website; you can search by nearest to your Post Code. Explain the emergency and ask for someone to call you back ASAP.

 

Can anyone offer anything bettter than this?

What would the OP rather be evicted from the office or evicted from the family home.

 

When was the possession order obtained & confirm the Office & Home have the same landlord?

[revdrun]

Thankyou,

 

We have now vacated the rented family home, we still don't know if the bailiffs will attend our rented offices which do not belong to the landlord,

 

We confirm the office and home do not have the same landlord

they are not one and the same.

The possession order was received by us on 3rd April, the court hearing was on 28th March, at which point we assume the order was made.

We do not owe rent on our current office

Since our original thread we have since received a letter from the landlords solicitor ordering us to vacate on or before the 11th April, but on the solicitors letter there is no mention of our office address, it only states the rented family home address, of which we have now vacated.

 

 

Thanks so far,

Sorry,

We do not want to be evicted from our offices

the bast thing I can think of is to call the court. They should have a baliffs officer. Explain that you think there must have been a mistake as the landlord cannot evict you from a property that he doesn't own.
