My comments only apply if the premises are entirely within England and Wales, and you are granted a shorthold tenancy (under which you - and your spouse/partner/children, if any - have exclusive use of a seperate dwelling, which is not shared with another tenant nor with the landlord), and you were over 18 years of age when the tenancy was granted, and the rent is less than £2,083 per month.

 

This posting is supplemental to the information in this forum's "sticky" threads and is NOT to be read in isolation.

 

Bear in mind that if you are a shorthold tenant, with a periodic tenancy, you can be evicted from the premises by simply being given 2 months notice, in writing, taking effect after the initial six months ends (expiring on the last day of a rent period). No reason has to be given. Where a dispute arises, concerning any matter, the landlord can simply end the tenancy in that way.

 

 

Criminal Offences: Landlord

 

Read the FAQ - Shorthold Tenancy - possession, eviction and notice

 

That FAQ explains what criminal offences the landlord might commit if he evicts you from residential premises without a court order, even - in some circumstances - if you don't have a tenancy.

 

That FAQ details what criminal offences the landlord commits by harassing an occupier of residential premises with intent to bring about an eviction, and what compensation the occupier can sue for.

 

See also: Protection from Eviction Act 1977

 

If the intimidation is not specifically intended to cause you to give up the tenancy, go to the police and swear out a criminal complaint of threatening and abusive behaviour.

 

 

Access by the Landlord

 

Read this FAQ - Access to the Property by the Landlord

 

In summary it boils down to this: if you have a shorthold tenancy, the landlord only has a right of entry in order to carry out repairs, not for any other purpose.

 

A tenancy gives the tenant a legal right to exclude the landlord from the premises, which is an important right that lodgers/licensees do not have. If you are a tenant, you can change the locks, immediately, to keep the landlord and his agents out; but you must not cause any damage in doing so.
