• Haha. No. My eviction and the discussion concerning my colleague above are separate. My deposit is protected, everything is above board, bar potentially the LL not having an HMO licence where one is required.

    And I say potentially as, if an HMO licence is required, it will be under additional requirements set out by the LA (Camden). I just got off the phone with Shelter and after a pretty comprehensive chat have been told that there is no way to stop the eviction, but only to delay it.

    Best case circumstance is that we find a new place before the notice period is up in July and I can move without having to deal with any of the BS court hearings. Worst case scenario is that we stay, having not found anywhere in the meantime, and then get given an extremely short notice on a court issued possession order. Gonna be a fun few months...

  • bummer. Did they have a break clause, is it the end of a fixed period, or are they claiming you've voided the contract somehow?

    Shelter are right [funny that] - once the LL wants you out it's a case of when rather than if.

  • There is a break clause, sadly yes. Frustrating, and a right ballache financially but hey ho. That's how it goes.
