High court enforcement officers

Thank you.



It is a HMO. The property has three rooms and each tenant has a tenancy agreement. The troublemaker was making sexual advances towards the other two ladies in the other two rooms and they left because of him. He initially said that he was going to stay on his own and then all of a sudden, he started living with his toddler daughter. From an informal conversation with him, he slipped out that he is waiting for the council to house him.


As the person rents only his room, we can access the property anytime. I do know that if I wanted to access his room, I would have to give him advance notice.

Council will no doubt be telling him to stay there until you get a writ of possession.

indeed as leaving before eviction for some councils absolves them off responsibility as you made yourself homeless by just leaving

Unfortunately, it's an easy way for them to reduce their demand and costs. Not so good if you are the private Landlord picking up the bill.

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

It would be illegal for you to cut his water supply off.

Offer him a months rent if he leaves.

It’s loads cheaper and saves all the hassle.

True

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 ....

iff you suspect they are are on housing support then they will not leave as they need to be evicted to have any chance off rehousing
plus they can take the money and still stay or come back with re-entry gteed with the help off the police as an illegal eviction so giving money can backfire as you have not completed the eviction in the correct fashion

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

Give the money as they leave, change the locks.

my thought a signed contract wouldnt be worth the paper its written on for a quick eviction as they can still gain entry under the illegal eviction by not completing the correct procedure
they would how ever be liable to a law suit for breaching contract some time in the future but well beyond the actual legal eviction

re-entry would be required aided by the police as an illegal eviction

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

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!
