Tenant can’t pay rent and advised to stay by Housing Association!

10:08 AM, 7th January 2019, 8 years ago 14

I have a friend who rented out a house to 2 girls, one girl is working earning 4 times the rent, the other girl is pregnant and not working.

After 2 months the income earner has health problems and will leave work. With no income, the girls approached the housing association and have been advised to stay in the property.

My friend has no landlord insurance as the earner has less than 12 months in her current job and will use a section 8 to get the property back.

Do you have any advice on what my friend can do?

Many Thanks

Raj
