SarahBell Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Ring shelter. They might have a page on their site about it. CAB would advise too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abaxas Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 If the LL has obtained permission from lender to let out, or they have a BTL mortgage. The lender has to honour the contract, usually the minimum required. If not, they can throw you out with no notice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okaycuckoo Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 (edited) You can get two months leeway from lender - contact them toot sweet when you get notice of court hearing for repo - or go to court and get two months from the judge. http://www.mablaw.com/2010/04/the-mortgage-repossessions-tenant-protection-act-2010/ edit: this post is in response to the non-BTL situation, but the reply function is a mess. If the property is BTL, lender has to honour the rental contract. link - can't make it clickable Edited January 7, 2011 by okaycuckoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beggar Thy Children Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 What sort of ******ed up country would allow something as important and fundamental as the management of people's residential dwellings to fall en masse into the hands of any Tom Dick and Harry who fancies trying his hand at being a landlord with borrowed money?

Protect Rural England Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Serious Question: Can a tenant where the BTL Landlord is re'poed claim squatters rights? No sign of break in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, it's the reason why there is going to be a lot of pain, particularly in the BTL sector in the coming years. It's only their blinkered stupidity which allow them to sleep at night.

It's only their blinkered stupidity which allow them to sleep at night. This is the reality of renting in this country. Assured Shorthold Tenancy (they always are these days) Provided the deposit has been properly lodged and notice correctly served then two months notice WITHOUT ANY REASON is good enough. NO wonder people want to buy mortgage up to the hilt in order to get some security. Tenants have no rights whatsoever and squatters rights are pretty much a myth also btw.

I think most countries allow anyone to rent out their property to someone else (Cuba is an exception, there may be others). The problem in the UK is that tenancy agreements make long term rental uncertain and unattractive. If a family could take out say a 5 year contract in full confidence that they can't be kicked out with 2 months notice then you might find the speculators and chancers will be put off dabbling with BTL, leaving the more serious landlords to get on with it.

And a suggestion to move things in that direction would be portrayed as an unjustly restrictive, uncompetitive intrusion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
