Having done a bit of checking, I think a mutual surrender would immediately terminate the tenancy and there would be no right to return. That would be the legal situation. How it would work out in practice is another matter!

part off the problem will be the police operators and indeed the police on the ground and backup at base information will tend to be geared to what they have dealt with now illegal evictions will feature as a frequent enough event to be quite clear on the action where as mutual surrender may not be so clear so they would tend to err on the side off caution and require them to be let in and sort the problem another way probably the legal route

but fully a guess

I agree that police won't have the first clue! I am surprised to hear, though, that these days the police support tenants who have been illegally evicted to get back in. I was always told that it was the other way around and they would often stand by whilst the landlord illegally evicted a tenant. It's not something I've had any dealings with for well over twenty years, though.

watch the landlord action program specifically there are episodes where the try changing locks even asking for there property back on the door step on the eviction date without baliffs and the police get called by the tenant and say they are being hassled by the landlord and the landlord has to leave and book the bailiffs to do the job officially

Or probably even a few months rent. I'm a scumlord, I suspect once the old boy in my place moves out or pops it I will knock it on the head, its just getting too risky. I've been lucky up to now ....

I'm the same. Got two decent tenants, when they move on I'll sell up. Well done government for making things so arduous for landlords that people seeking private rents will have two less properties to rent in my area.

SNP detest everything private landlords stand for and I don't think Labour is far behind them.

you can be the most wicked evil tenant and the nicest landlord ever but the law is on the tenants side very heavily until full legal procedure has been satisfied

Up here it's gone nuts.

When I had the tenants who hadn't paid rent for months, I got 'advice' from the pathetic First Tier Tribunal service including:

'Ensure you offer to work with your tenants on their expenditure to determine how best they can meet their rent payments. For example a spreadsheet.'

'Consider wiping the outstanding balance to ease the financial burden on your tenants.'

I was reaching my wits end when I got that letter. They also advised me in that letter even if granted, eviction could take another 6 months. This after 10 months of no payments. Luckily next day I found out the tenants were moving on.

Don't become a landlord folks ... stick your hard earned in something like a S&S ISA.

I have gone on the HCEO register and have contacted a few.

Their websites suggest that they are a bit pricey at £1400 for the whole shebang!

That's a show, to be taken with a pinch of salt.
If tenants agrees to leave under payment, signs a contract and then calls the police to regain entry, the police will attend but will not get involved as this is a civil matter.
Been there with one of my former customers.
In England lots of landlords are now keeping one box room for themselves and renting to "lodgers".
If they do anything wrong they're out without notice and police will assist in removing them.

Thought high court bailiffs were easy to instruct

Well at least for debts ???

They can force entry into commercial premises that have debt order on them ?

Domestic they cannot afaik

Can you secretly turn his water and gas off ???
Done gas for a land lord ounce
Tenant would not leave or let any one in
He had a gas leak Took his meter out and capped it

Bloke was one of these care in the community fruit cakes

Writ of possession allows them to use reasonable force to enter.

 

[motorbiking]

Offer him a months rent if he leaves.

It’s loads cheaper and saves all the hassle.

You'd do that before it got to court stages. But if he is aiming to be housed by the council, this wont work.

Can they sign a surrender of the tenancy in return for the cash?

worthless

the tenancy has already been terminated

I agree that police won't have the first clue! I am surprised to hear, though, that these days the police support tenants who have been illegally evicted to get back in. I was always told that it was the other way around and they would often stand by whilst the landlord illegally evicted a tenant. It's not something I've had any dealings with for well over twenty years, though.

Police have no power to assist once the ex-tenant is physically outside the property. Of course if the LL is illegally kicking a tenant out who has a valid tenancy, then they will prevent a breach of the peace, but not prevent the tenant using reasonable force to re-enter his home.

i never blindly follow anything 'producers have a program to sell so when a comment is made with no lead up question asked i always wonder what the possible question asked to manipulate them answering that way

Yes, late 80s or early 90s I suppose. Really odd character, did very well for himself though.
