Heavens, It makes my possession order look quite straightforward.
I really hope the court sees sense.
For instance,
A) Why would a tenant take on a derelict property and pay rent?
B) Having that many animals can only be seen as a business of which planning would be required and benefits agency need to be informed plus it is illegal to run a business on a residential tenancy.
C) A business tenancy agreement signed by you and the tenant would be needed at court to allow them to stay there of which doesn't or hasn't ever existed.
D) From the 28th of February 1998, Any tenancy after this date is automatically Assured Shorthold under which gives the Landlord the right to evict via the County Court after a section 21 notice and relevant Court Hearing and granted possession order in place.
I will keep my fingers crossed for you. I have had no rent from my property since November last year and I am struggling to keep the bank happy. I have finally managed to secure a hearing on Tuesday 21st. A full 41 weeks after all this started. Very costly indeed.
This link might help. It is for tenants initially but gives basic advice.
