  • Just moved back in to my flat, all good, hassle free. The landlady of the upstairs flat (converted terrace) is having a nightmare with her tenant not paying rent and will probably have to go for eviction. According to my tenant, he hasn't seen the upstairs tenant in weeks, but there has been a lot of other people coming and going which makes us think he might be subletting. The flats share a communal entrance, where would I stand with (with the landlady's consent) changing the shared front door lock and giving her a key? It's a concern if there's a lot of randoms staying there with no culpability.

    Ask the freeholder :)

  • your neighbour ‘simply’ has to give the tenant notice and apply for a court order for possession.

    Anything else is secondary and might prolong the issue.
