Council locked me out of my flat for 5 months

[45002]

This happened in June 1997 the steel door went on on the 16th and they ended the tenancy on the 13 of February 1998,

 

I did complain to the council endlessly

 

I did not pay the rent as i assumed I did not have to if I had no access

 

I was living in my car and even parking it on the estate office

 

I have had no contact from the council whatsoever

 

Can I ask where have you been living for the past 16 years ?

 

and why did you apply for a council house again !

As in a closure order

 

what your saying does not add up.

If access was denied to you because the door was broken they would of just replaced the door

If access was denied as the property was unsafe they would of rehoused you temporary

 

Big metal door implies the police applied for the property to be closed in my mind. Otherwise from what you claim you were unlawfully evicted.

 

I was thinking that too !

 

I left it so long because until i filled this housing form in i didn't know about it

 

What do you meen by Deemed Closed?

 

They did seal off the property due to a break in, nothing was taken just a fish tank smashed and a table smashed to bits on the floor I had NO access until February when i arranged with a manager to get my property out only to find they had already done that

 

Even if you had paid rent in full.

 

I cant see Any obligation on the council part why they should give you a council house/flat now or place you on a waiting list, as you been living somewhere else for past 16 years ...

 

Best to find somewhere else to live now with private LL.

I went yesterday to SMBC and had a meeting with the debt recovery manger named Ian Carson, he told me that SMBC are not looking to recover the £1090 and have written it off however I still have to pay it to get onto their housing list. He also told me that they left the tenancy open so that I could claim the £1500 !!! Which he said I could no longer get

That was a reply to this post by Sabre Sheep

 

The police were informed of the break in and i did have a crime number

 

 

carlrb you did say Council fitted big metal door here

More likely story is, It wouldn't surprise that the Council have been through the Eviction procedures and Council fitted big metal door to stop anyone moving back in as the block was going to be knocked down !

 

IMO OPs story has more holes than UK Border Control

 

Agree with that

 

Without facts, we can only speculate

There's nothing missing, that's exactly what happened !!!

All of these years I was living somewhere else until now when I find myself homeless and wanted to get on the housing list

IMO they wouldn't repair the door as the block was coming down

There is nothing missing that I can think of

I do still have some paperwork, I have a letter from the council sent to my solicitor stating when the security door was fitted and when the tenancy was ended, I also have the paperwork from the council stating when the arrears are for

There is no point me coming on here and not telling the whole story it really is no skin off my nose to just be honest and tell you everything

 

I don't know why your bothering with the council away.

 

Your not a priority for a council house/flat, you been living some where else for the past 16 years and you left your GF address.

 

IMHO, Council have No duty to re-house you or even place you on there waiting list !

Why do you think you should get a council house/flat or even go on there waiting list anyway

 

What obligations do you think the council have after you been living elsewhere for 16 years ?

[45002]

 

As the flat was due to be demolished, the council started relocation proceedings and for any number of reasons the T did not engage with them so they began eviction proceedings and secured the property after the break in

 

Which is what I posted early on http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?427268-Council-locked-me-out-of-my-flat-for-5-months&p=4561093&viewfull=1#post4561093 and OP made no comment on ....

 

Can i ask OP again
