THE WORLDS BIGGEST TENANT FROM HELL LANDLORDS WILL BE AMAZED AT THIS
Hi, I am currently trying to evict the tenant from hell from my mobile home on my own freehold land which is my own home and wish to hear from any landlord that thinks my case sounds a similar experience, i gave the tenant a 12 month shorthold tenancy agreement (which he signed) on my home whist i was away working, he was a nightmare, rent always late, neighbours complaining etc, so i got a possession order and a warrant of eviction granted in the county court to get him out, the tenant has now used a promissory esstopal to get the warrant set aside on the defence of a claim in equity on my mobile home!! and as his evidence (to be heard in september at medway county court), has produced a photocopy of his tenancy agreement with all the dates removed which he says proves he can stay forever!! (he will not produce the original until the hearing day) and a mass of photographs showing (he wildly claims) that the mobile home was derelict when he moved in ?? (even though i was living in it for 8 years with my family), with photos showing apparently panels removed from the ceilings, kitchen units and fires removed and carpets pull back etc to make the place appear bad PLUS NOW a brand new set of recent photos showing that the tenant has done the place up and redecorated.......i'm totally stunned in disbelief, the tenant has obviously trashed the place since recieving notice to quit and quickly tarted it up again putting in a defence claim for over £15.000 + court costs !!, the court case has now dragged on for 9 months while i try to prove him a liar and a fraud.and because of massive court backlogues i still cant get a hearing until september, 3 months waiting list apparently, and its obviously cost me a fortune in legal fees while the tenant and his girlfriend remain in the caravan on the dole with unlimited legal aid still scaming the public while the case continues.
As i am still regarded as the claiment for ending the tenancy legitamately in the first place i cannot get legal aid unlike the dole scrouging tenant and am now reduced to selfrepresenting, its so unbelievable and so clever and the tenant seems so very very experianced at what he is doing, i believe he has definately worked this scam before and UNBELIEVABLE he has now in the last month opened an animal sanctuary in the garden with he claims 70+ animals !!! (8 months after recieving his section 21 notice to leave !!), now claiming to be a non-profit making unregistered charity !! and asking for the public in the newspapers  to help him feed all these invisible animals (but there are no animals there but a few pet rabbits and his own dogs!! )  its like a terriable dream i keep thinking i will wake up and find it isnt happening, all these animals have invalidated my public liability insurance and i cant evict him all the time the court is allowing him to appeal, the police say he isnt actually breaking the law by what he's doing !  ARE THEY MAD...someone somewhere in the kent or maybe the surrey or essex area ( i think he came from essex) must have had this tenant previously, i didnt ask for references as i had known him for about 2 months previously and thought he was genuine, he told me he was working and not on the dole...if anyone can help me with any free legal advise as i cant get legal aid anymore and my wages are swallowed up by my legal debts and the costs i'm now having to pay to house myself , or at best think they may have experianced this mega tenant from hell themselves, i would be so grateful to hear from them, someone must have experience of this evil tentant, the landlord assosiations have never heard of a case this bad. I WILL BE BANKRUPTED AND STILL HAVE THIS TENANT IN MY HOME FOR LIFE ON HIS ENDLESS APPEALS

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.

I hope you get both possession and a "Money Judgement" as this will give you back your costs and any unpaid rent as it is taken at source eg: Working wage, Any benefits so you will get your cut before the person recieves the rest.

To D Piggott

I really sympathise with you. My wife and I are going through the same sort of woes, and are worried that the tenant from hell that we have will be clever enough to have a technicality awaiting the bailiffs or the warrant process. We would like to share with you our experiences away from this forum if possible, and so please let us know how we can contact you privately. Mr and Mrs Hardy. At least we don't have lots of mythical animals to deal with!
