Hello, I am going through a S21 and the tenant claims they will not leave until evicted.

I have just been shown several social media posts where they are living elsewhere. Furthermore, they have listed the bathroom in my house for sale.

In the post, they confirm they are no longer living there and have a new home. The police tell me until the bathroom is removed they cannot do anything. Once removed it will be classed as theft and criminal damage.

Is there anything I can do?

They are clearly not living there by their own admission but won’t return the keys.

Thanks
