Kicking out a tenant

[Triggaaar]

Alternatively you could just do what I did to one tenant and tell to eff off or else ( a long complicated story that would take several pints to tell ! ).

I'm listening, start drinking.

If she's not paid a deposit, she won't come through with rent so she'll unlikely be paying bills/council tax etc. This will get very messy very quickly. Boot her out without warning.

This is an important point... If she's willing to stand there and argue with a landlord she owes money to when she's in no position to argue anything, she needs removing asap.

Room next door? So your dad's studio flat is next to his home, that you live in, right?

Its a ground floor flat that has had one of the rooms extended into the garden and converted into a studio apartment.

Best of luck with this...either start the legal process...or the cough.. different one....asap ..hopefully you will be wiser next time

Get yourself to the High Court, have them issue a High Court Writ and we'll see you on the next series of 'Can't Pay, We'll Take It Away'.

Will be looking for a tenant for a studio flat in August so if you do get rid please brand her forehead with the word scum!

So she has her own entrance and facilities, and no access to your place, right?

Shared hallway unfortunately.

Shared hallway unfortunately.

From that hallway, does she have a front door with a lock, and you have a front door with a lock? Or could she just walk into your rooms?

If it's the latter, you might be able to legally just kick her straight out. The laws are very different for people sharing your home, and people who rent a home off you.

She could just walk into my room if its left unlocked. She can walk into my kitchen.

Really that's interesting! Thanks!

It all boils down to whether you have established a tenancy.

It may be a problem that they don't actually use your shared areas.

Here's the first thing I've found:

Is she hot?
Start going out, get serious, get her to move in with you - re-let her flat.

THEN BOOT HER OUT OF YOURS !!!

Dont rent a studio flat to someone who hasnt paid and has a dog. Sorry thats really unhelpful but not rocket science either

She HAS to be fit. The only way you'd ever give the keys to someone with no references, no deposit and a noisy dog is if they had a rack like Dolly Parton.
