We took an ex-tenant to court for the sort of costs you are describing and including unpaid rent. We iused the Small Claims Court which is done online but you serve papers by recorded delivery post. It took over a...

There would be no grounds for serving notice under current legislation so ignore him but be prepared for a rent increase in line with the terms of your tenancy agreement.

I would try to talk to the hospital social worker about this. He must still be getting his income whilst an in-patient and if not he can claim benefits. If he is already on benefits you can ask for his...

Reply to the comment left by Mick Roberts at 04/05/2021 - 18:41Yes, you do. If you think the tenant has gone but not returned your keys or formally ended the tenancy then you have to put an Abandonment Notice on...

You didn't say in your first post but you have now said about 'living through hell for the last five years'. Is that when this all started?

Reply to the comment left by Harry Trump at 29/04/2021 - 11:53Oh dear! not a nice sister. I think though that if you want to shift her out legally you're going to have to get advice and help. Good luck.

Why is a solicitor not an option? You could charge the costs to the estate so your sister pays half at least. As regards the utilities who put them in your name? They should be in join names if anything...

I think you need to see a solicitor about the probate and whether you can sell without transferring title. Are you both executors?

Reply to the comment left by Harry Trump at 28/04/2021 - 10:09I wasn't thinking that is something the poster should do. He needs to create a scenario where his sister starts to need to cooperate with him. If she has...

Reply to the comment left by Harry Trump at 28/04/2021 - 00:13It must be really hard given it is your sister but you have no choice. Does she have income and could therefore pay these bills?

That's a wicked and despicable thing to do.

Reply to the comment left by Graham Bowcock at 27/04/2021 - 11:40The poster said no rent or tenancy agreement. If he is a half owner then utilities might correctly be in joint names but he would still have some liability...

Here's a link that explains clearly the two different types of joint ownership and states that to get the other owner to sell you will need a court order https://www.peabodysales.co.uk/blog/buy-sell/a-solicitors-guide-to-joint-ownership-of-property/

I would let the utilities be disconnected. You probably need to see a lawyer to see how to proceed in forcing a sale and evicting her as she is part owner and therefore not a tenant. This will have happened...

Reply to the comment left by Chris @ Possession Friend at 25/03/2021 - 10:15My managing agent uses online documents and signing service and I can download all docs when completed so always have a copy of the latest agreement.

I agree too. The Tenancy Agreement is between you and the people living in your property and you have every right to know their contact details. Your Agent is lacking basic knowledge so I would change as this could be...
