First eviction in 25 years – She asked as she wants a council house?

A solicitor is the most expensive option ( we have helped reclaim solicitors fees for botched Possession work )
The Section 21 process has been getting harder and harder for some years now and the recently revised form has gone from 7, to 18 pages !
We do offer free advice, ! – look us up and send an email ?

Yes we need clarification on this please:
1. I was aware I had to send a copy of the gas certificate that I gave the tenant when they moved in and the last one I gave them before notifying them of eviction but the form seems to suggest I need to send a copy of all the gas certs for the years in between which I do have, is this correct ?

As many of us haven’t saved the old boiler certificates. Many of us have put new boilers in since. So what is the point? And I know their point is to delay stall the Landlord & the eviction, but if they’ve only just bought this new rule in about saving all past certificates, they surely can’t do that retrospectively can they?

I think it will become a point of contention depending on the weight a judge gives to it on a hearing.
Your right there is nothing in the legislation about keeping previous gas certs, so the initial and current obviously from Monty Shultz – being important, we really will have to wait and see.
That said , the Trecarrell case basically appealing the Shultz decision was heard 29th January and the ‘ reserved judgement ‘ is still awaited ! If judgement overturns Shultz, it will clarify the question you ask Mick.

Keep me posted via whataspp as well please, as I’m not getting every email notification at moment from 118 due to possible email faults with Hotmail.

Is it not the tenant who is asking to be evicted because she wants to be eligible for a Council House? If so and now that the eviction process has been made so difficult, supposedly for the benefit of tenants, is it reasonable for the landlord to go to the trouble and expense of correctly evicting her? There must be a limit to the extent to which we can be expected to go in order to protect our tenants from the politically motivated and simply incompetent who claim to speak on their behalf? Advise her to leave.

Council – L.A won’t be under an obligation to re-house her if she gives up – voluntary surrenders your Tenancy, as she’ll be termed ” Intentionally Homeless ”
which is why she’s asking you to evict her.
( A game, I know )

Gemma, you don’t need to go through with the Eviction, Issue a Section 21 this should be enough for the Council to re-house her. Although in the current climate no-one can be evicted so Council may try to wriggle out of their Obligation.
