Can I be evicted?

[dizzyduck5338]

I have lived in my council for just over 12 months, so am only just out of the probationary period. I reported my partner living with me around 2 months ago. Hes got an ongoing court case in quite a serious fraud investigation. This case has been made public and the media have splashed my adress over the internet. I understand many of you will be frowning upon this, as he has already made his bed, but i also live with my two very young children and am worried for their safety. I emailed he council about this today and was weary about giving my name, but had an email back to say without any details they couldnt help at all. So I emailed them back with my name and adress. I am now worried that they could possibly evict me for 'blacklisting' their property...if you could put it like that. I didnt tell them the adress was public, i just said it was made known to everyone involved in the case. Also, he is definately going to prison for what he has done and I am scared that I will be left in the house with my children, with anybody knowing my adress. Was hoping they could move me before he goes to trial next month, so I can start afresh. I would be very grateful if anybody has any suggestions as to what they could do, as Im worried they can fast-track an eviction for maybe, criminal offences happening in their property???? What happened was before christmas last year, but police have been surveilling him since before christmas and have found him at this adress. He has court papers to prove it was never anywhere near this adress, he wasnt registered here til 2 months ago. I just dont know what rights they have, and I'm quite worried for me and my children, as we have nowhere else to go. =(

Hi, im really sorry this post is irrellevant to any of this but I have no idea what I am doing on this website and cant seem to start a new post.

i think what you need is to go and see SHELTER Shelter, the housing and homelessness charity - choose your location

they will be able to provide you with help do you have a thread started if not i will flag this post and see if the mods can start a thread for you

Councils can seek to evict over illegal activity but this is when the activity has been proven to have taken place in the house. It's unlikely that they will do anything until they know the result of his court case and may not do anything at all. They can't evict because your address has been in the papers, etc.

 

You are the tenant so they really would need to prove that if any illegal activity took place in the property you knew about it and allowed it to happen or were involved in the fraud.

 

Very good idea to speak to Shelter. Think about what you know:

 

was he living at the property when the fraud was carried out or just visiting/staying over every so often as partners do?

is there any connection between the fraud and your address?

is there any suggestion in the prosecution's case that you were involved or knew what was going on?

 

Think about these things so that when you speak to Shelter you can fully explain the situation.

 

Councils can move people to another address if they are suffering from harassment, etc and it's felt that a move will resolve the situation. If it is agreed on these grounds a move will happen quickly and if there is not a suitable property available then the family is usually moved into temporary accommodation until something suitable is available.

 

However, there would need to be harassment taking place. They will not move you because you are afraid there might be.
