I’m Evicting My Tenant, I’ve Had Enough!

I'm Evicting My Tenant

It’s come to this.

It really has.

Urgh! Urgh! Urgh!

The grunts pretty much sums up the nature of my mood and therefore this blog post.

My emotions are volatile right now, so I apologise in advance if I lapse into fits of rage and blurt out inappropriate shit that no one should ever have to endure.

I was contemplating scraping this blog post entirely in favour of compiling a list, “101 ways to rub my tenants with objects smeared in Gonorrhea – which should I choose?” But then, I figured, this world is filled with too many people with an inconceivable level of idiocy, just like my tenants. It only takes someone equipped with a microscopic cranium and zero sense of humour to take it too seriously and report me to the Police, like I compiled a list of regimented methods of how to get recruited by al-Qaeda.

Yeah, so unfortunately, I changed my mind, so I can’t tell you how to strategically kill your tenant with a condom and a pot of Vaseline. Instead, I’m just going to tell you about how I’m going to have to evict my tenants because they’re a pair of massive assholes.

Why I’m evicting my tenants….

On the 15th of July 2009 my tenant will have officially fallen 2 months in arrears and she will owe me £1.5k. Unfortunately, I have no confidence – and with good reason – to believe my tenant will come good with the doe.

She’s already given me every damn excuse in the book, and to be honest, I don’t give a shit if her excuses are genuine or not anymore, because I’m bored of her excuses, and I still have a mortgage to pay.

At first, I was like, “Awwww, this woman has genuine financial issues going on, I’ll let her pay a few weeks late”

Unfortunately, she mistook my kindness for weakness, because it wasn’t long before she fed me more excuses to further delay payments, but what annoyed me the most is that she got into the classic game of telling me “she’s on her way to bank to deposit rent into my account” only for the money to never get deposited.

Why do people do that? Do they not realise that after 5pm (or whatever time the banks close) I will know she blatantly lied? Anyways, that happened literally multiple times!

Baffling!

My tenant is scamming the system.. and no one cares!

This is what really gets on my tits about the situation.

She’s in receivership of housing benefit, so she’s obviously spending her benefits on more important things than what it is intended for [to put a roof over her head]. She’s probably buying crack and injecting her eyeballs with it, courtesy of us taxpayers. Lovely.

The council (the people providing her with her housing benefit) don’t give one iota, which seems to be the standard response when tenants receiving benefits fall into arrears!

I contacted my local council and explained my situation, and also enquired whether or not she was receiving her benefit cheques. They basically told me they weren’t able to share any of my tenant’s financial details;

don’t you care that she’s not paying her rent with the benefits she’s receiving, which is meant to be going towards her rent?

The woman on the other end basically didn’t care one bit. She sounded like she was oblivious to what I was saying… or, she was simply numb from hearing about how the system is so woefully corrupt.

It’s no wonder people take advantage of the system and cling onto social benefits, because it’s so damn easy to scam it. Even when the right people are made aware of what I consider to be pretty severe exploits, there’s still little to no action taken.

Well, if it’s THAT easy to hijack tenancy in someone’s property without paying a penny, I think I’d rather do that than pay my own mortgage.

My tenant is ignoring me!!

My tenant won’t pick up the phone when I call, nor does she return my messages.

She’s clearly avoiding the situation, which is the worst thing she can do right now, because now she’s going to be unexpectedly hit with a valid eviction notice, which gives her 14 days to vacate the property, or she can expect to have a warm seat waiting for her in court.

Fortunately, I took out a RGI (rent guarantor insurance) policy with Home Let, which basically covers 50% of my rent if my tenant fails to make her monthly payments. They will also cover all my legal costs if it transpires to that!

I hope this is the bitter start of a miserable life for her. The bitch is abusing the system, and I hope she gets thrown out onto the streets, which forces her into a life of prostitution and rat-burger fuelled diet.

Sadly, this is a typical eviction case. It’s textbook, for sure:

  • Tenant falls into arrears!
  • Tenant starts making up excuses!
  • Tenant promises to pay… but never does!
  • Tenant continues to lie!
  • Tenant starts ignoring any attempts of communication!

To clarify, this isn’t about the money or taking a roof away from decent people. If someone was genuinely struggling and was trying their best to resolve the situation by communicating with me, I wouldn’t mind so much. I certainly wouldn’t want them to suffer. Being in financial difficulties is HORRIBLE, and I can sympathise. If you’re in that unfortunate situation, deal with it with some grace, otherwise you belong on the streets, fighting over a piss-head’s abandoned kebab with a rat covered in a tramp’s urine, carrying Leptospirosis.

Can someone help with my situation? My house is sublet by a very incompetent letting agency which means I don't have first hand information of my tenants.The tenancy agreement expires at the end of this month. The rent is at 2 months arreas. Both section 21 & section 8 notices have been served. I only found out both my tenants are on housing benefit. I asked my agency to try to make a deal with them. But the woman said she won't move until January and she won't pay either. They have a guarantor which is a homeowner. I'm thinking of eviciting them, but beause both of them are on benefit, the chance to recover the rent and legal cost is little. Also I'm not sure if I can recover any money form their guarantor. Also, I'm not sure if they will defend once I go legally as right after first month of the contract, they have delayed to pay rent. When I tried to used 6 month break claus to ask them to leave, my house was burnt(although they said they have nothing to do with the fire). After that , they always found faults with my house. My heart is bleeding now. I spent nearly 50,000 to refurbish my house, the house was brand new when i let to them. Every month half the rent went to repairs thanks for my lovery letting agency. Even this month my agency still carried out a repair for them! So, at court they can easily defend themselves for disrepair althoug it's not true. Also, for the same reason, coucil can decide not to pay their benefit to my account.Also can anyone have a clue how much housing benefit they can get with 2 children? Once they defend, it'll be very lengthy and costly. Does anyone know how long it generally takes to evict in London? I have so much to ask. Can anyone help? Any information or advice will be highly appreciated!

You can go the 'fast route' for court action but it will still depend on how backed up the courts are which could be a few months. There is no doubt you would win but would they take any notice and then you would have to get bailiff's etc so thats more cost with little hope of any costs being returned.
I have to say what the hell has your rental agent been doing in all of this? For a start they should not be doing any repairs. Just give the notice and thats it. If they are not paying their rent and the notice has expired then they are living there illegally so you have no obligation to carry our repairs!!
Why hasn't the agency started going after the guarantor? Thats what they are there for, thats the point of having a guarantor, make them all start earning their money.
You need to get on top of this now because the tenant is hardly likely to want to move until after christmas but at least you can get your rent till then. You need to start making sure they know they won't get away with it. If the tenancy agreement is solid then the guarantor is liable. Wait till the tenant breach's the agreement and go after the guarantor.

If your section 21 is all correct, put a claim for possession in at the end of the month when the tenancy ends.
Then claim for the arrears and/or go for the guarantor.
Should have possession by January.

erm, immediately apply for thr benefit to be paid to yourself, automatic rights if 8 weeks in arrears. To check you LHA allowance just go online, you need to know ages and sexs of the kids for the bedroom calculator.It costs between 150 and 180 to go into court for apossession order, no biggy, and you dont need a solicitor.
sack the agents, replace with a tought one.

Angrytiger,

Don't get confused with a 'Notice of eviction' (N54) which is a bailiffs warrant. This states the date and time the court bailiff will carry out the eviction and hand over possession to the claimant.

It is not the same as the initial notice landlords have to give before they can apply for a court order.

Hi, I am both a landlord and tennant, not though choice I might add, one of my children was seriously bullied at school and we move catchments to get him in onthe school, we didn't want to sell our house, so we rent it out, and rent one close to the children's new school, any way my point is....... We rent our house out with a agent , our rent is very rarely paid on time, but I never moan, when the agent rings me, I will always give them extra time, in the current climate it is all give and take, we have had work men in our house and have come back and told us the house looks really tired and is not good, the tennants keep breaking things and we appear to keep paying out for it, but that is what you get as a landlord, we knew what we were getting into before we did it, I am just gratefull that at this time of year someone is living in it, what with frost and the plumbing ect, my tennants have always been pleasant when we have spoken to them and visa versa, they have a big German Shepard that they did not tell us about plus 1 other dog, but we just let it go, life is to short to keep moaning..... On the other hand the house we live in the curtains blow when it is windy, I can post a letter through the side of our front door without using the letter box, we had to try and repair kitchen shelfs before we put anything away without the 6 hour clean up before we moved in, the door hands keep coming off in our hands and the gas fire we have just noticed is not turning off properly , and cause the landlord only bought the property in november,all this is gonna have to wait till summer, buti. The mean time do we get a reduction in rent NO..... So you see I will never be a nasty landlady as I know what it is like to be on the other end, please bear in mind what your tennant is going through, cause there is always 2 sides and please tennants don't all think that land lords are nasty and out to make money, cause personally we are not, we are going through all this so our children can have a Better school life :-)

The rental house I live in was broken into through the kitchen window, the landlord had not provided window locks so my insurance wouldn't pay out, I had to pay to board it up. He visited and was more concerned with his ladders being missing than my tv watch collection and laptop. This was in November guess what it's still boarded up. The boilers broken no gas safe for the fire . When I questioned him about replacing my watches he said it's not his responsibility it's the letting agency who processed the let even though he manages it now . He started asking if I had emailed the let agency I informed him I had spoken to them on the day I was shown around. Therefore I'm not paying the rent any more, even more so I rent out a property and imhave never treated a tennant like this. I'm moving out his lose

Hello Rich,

I'm sorry to hear your story, but just for the benefit of other readers: It is not up to the landlord to ensure the security at the house is good enough for any given tenant's insurer's security requirements, which might be quite particular to that insurer. But they should not prevent you bringing the house up to standard if they won't do it themselves.

Apart from that, it looks like you've been treated pretty rubbish.

Hi there,

I am seriously considering getting my brothers to go around my flat and kick this bitch out of my house. So much for helping a friend! There's no agreement/contract between us and I figured if I move back in to the other spare room I can kick her out and change the locks. What'S the worse she can do? Call the police? They can't do anything as it's a civil matter. Sue me? How? There's no agreement/contract.

Am I missing something? Any advice is much appreciated.

I'm sure there must be a pocket of individuals in the benefit system that are genuinely in reciept of benefits for gd reason. However in my opinion and experience they're all scum. Fookin parasites that will take advantage of anything they are able to. Human size rats with even bigger rats (council) aiding there scumbag ways.

Can anyone advise me, i am a tenant and lived in my flat for 7 years,for the 1st 4 years i was working and payed £700 pcm. I lost my job due to illness and housing benefit took over my rent but they only pay £600 pcm and i had to find the other £100 out of my £140 fortnight ESA, which i was finding diffulcult to afford.My landlord being the kind guy he was said he will drop my rent to £600pcm which i was happy about, this was a verbal contract and housing benefit have been paying for the last 3 years.Last August my landlord wanted to sell the flat and i was sent the section 21. i was advised to stay put which i did, i then got a possession order from the courts which gave me a chance to put down my defence on why i feel it was unfair to kick me out of my home.My landlord was not happy with my defence as the possession order was sent in September and the courts have not yet granted him a eviction order yet.Anyway just before christmas he sent me a email stating he is going back to the courts for a section 8 for rent arrears. He is now saying that the rent is £700pcm which is on the ATA and i have only been paying £600 for the past 6 years. I am so angry with him and i guess he has now got me on this arrears shit which i am not as we agreed on this and he has been taking £600 for 3 years. I am now worried sick that bailiffs will just smash my door in and order me out. I knew without arrears i was safe but now my landlord is lyeing and playing dirty i am not sure.

@Kaz,

Whether your landlord follows the section 21 or section 8 route, the bailiffs can't just kick your door in and order you out without a court possession order- in that order you will be given at least 2 weeks prior notice.

I would guess the section 21 delay was due to the Christmas holidays and the section 8 threat is just a bluff at this stage.

Having said that, I think it is you acting unfairly.

Who was it that advised you to stay put?

Benji,Thank you for your advice, i know it may seem like i am being unfair but i have made my home and am scared of moving on. I live in London in the town i was brought up in,i can not stay in this area when i move as 1 bedroom flats are now 850pcm which i can not afford so i will have to move away on my own away from my family & friends to get cheaper rent. I moved into this flat after fleeing from a very abusive husband of 23 years, i left my 3 bedroom house with just my clothes that i was wearing. I payed my depoist and 1st month rent and picked up my keys to what i thought was my safehome which it has been for 7 years. I have only had my landlord out twice in that time for repairs as my dad as always done most things so not to bother my landlord. It is more the lyeing about the rent that has really upset me, and i do understand it is his flat and he wants to sell up but i need more time, i have been looking for a flat but i have a dog a all the places i have seen will not accept dogs and i will not give her up she is all i have.

Kaz,

I'm not 100% sure on this but I think your verbal agreement supercedes the written agreement- provided all actions were in accordance with that. i.e The landlord has not been chasing you (with proof) for the £100 'arrears'.

I think it would be a good defence against any section 8 claim.

Best people to ask are your local CAB, housing authority or Shelter, telephone 0808 800 4444 (open until 8pm).

But eventually, your landlord will get his section 21 act together and you will have to leave.

Regarding your dog, many landlords automatically say "no pets" but are open to persuasion if you try- you need to be prepared for a lot of rejection. Be aware a lot of blocks of flats have strict no pets rules so the landlord can't allow it anyway.

Good luck.

Thanks Benji, My landlord was fine with £100 less for his rent for 3years it seems now that he has pulled this out now as a reason for eviction which is now making me feel bad as i would never be in arrears but he is now saying i am. What was a nice guy has become a bully.I will get to crb asap, do i need a solicitor.I am thinking this guy is not going to let 3years arrears build up and only act now when he wants me out. This is so soul destroying as i know i am in the wrong for staying put but i also need more time. Thanks again Benji x

Wonder if anyone can advise me a novice landlord. I have a lovely couple with 2 kids renting and now I discover that the brother of one of the adult tenants.. who is an adult student is living at the property. I know nothing about him, history or anything. then I think he is not my tenant and I don't think he is paying anything although not sure of that. My question is do I need to do referencing etc on him? what is the situation with landlord insurance?? as it soon due and his name is not on it. I really don't mind him living there but am a bit aggrieved that permission was not requested as Ten Agreement does state no subletting. I am a decent landlord and do things properly.

As a landlord, you have a responsibility to ensure any adults living in your property has the 'right to rent' in the UK. This includes all your tenants and any other adults living in the property with permitted occupation. These checks usually fall under the umbrella of referencing. In terms of landlord insurance, you're best checking with your policy provider.

In reality it's probably fine, but equally it's not a big deal to check and do the process justice.

Hi

I am a lead tenant in a shared house. No other tenants have written TA, only oral because mine is the only name on it. Now I have a new co-tenant who is dealing drugs and I want him gone. Whats the best way to do this? Section 8? If so, how can I prove this and can he dig his heels in and go to court if he only has an oral contract?

Also, am I able to increase his rent in any way, if i'm only the lead tenant? The landlord has said im in charge of the rent structure

Help greatly appreciated

Mr J

They left a tumble dryer in that didn't work he came to remove it, and took my washing machine the skip instead of the old dryer, the funny thing is he is a plumber. The thick **, *,,,
