On the day, workmen arrived to drain the boiler, toilets etc and to change all of the locks. The first time, we were served with high court documents as we unlocked the front door to the property basically stating the property owner had gone into receivership and at the end of the shorthold tenancy, we were to vacate the property on the end date of the AST. We have been through this twice now with privately rented properties. Upon reading other comments by the OP, it does surprise me that you've been surprised with a short notice eviction - in the two instances we had, we were mid/near the end of the AST tenancy, and, especially in the first case, were allowed to complete the initial tenancy period - when was the first instance you heard that you were being evicted on Monday as these court cases don't happen quickly, they take a long while to go through? I would think if representations are made to the High Court and/or the mortgage company, they may allow a few extra days/weeks if it were a short notice eviction to give you time to find somewhere to move to and to get moved out. The mortgage company on the date of eviction will likely have locksmiths and other workmen come round to change the locks on the doors and make the property safe whilst no-one is living there in order to take full control of the property. If the High Court has notified you that you have to move out, then do not take what the landlord says with anything but a pinch of salt - you need to move out by the date stated on the letter. NAL but have been through something similar twice in the last 10 years. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

I feel a lot more comfortable with not paying the rest of the tenancy. We can't cancel our new obligations this last minute obviously, but he's saying that we're still obligated to pay rent for the remainder of our contract.Īnyone know if we still have to, despite an official letter of eviction from the courts?Įdit: Thanks everyone. Unfortunately, this is a bit too last minute and we have all made arrangements to move elsewhere. Our landlord then kept evading our calls until yesterday when he finally gets in touch and says that he's managed to get the eviction postponed. This was then followed up with a letter from the courts telling us to move out by the 20th, when the locks will be changed. Just under two weeks ago we got a letter of eviction from a law firm, saying that the bank is repossessing the landlord's flat.
