The NRLA want these grounds:-
Published our shadow white paper, A New Deal for the Private Rented Sector,
It reads;
*“The tenant or a person residing in or visiting
the dwelling-house:
(a) has been guilty of conduct causing or
likely to cause a nuisance to persons in
the locality;
(b) has been guilty of conduct causing or
likely to cause a nuisance or annoyance
to the landlord or a person employed
in connection with the exercise of
the landlord’s housing management
functions; or
(c) has been convicted of:
(i) using the dwelling-house or allowing
it to be used for immoral or illegal
purposes; or
(ii) an indictable offence committed
in, or in the locality of, the
dwelling-house; or
(d) has been issued with an Anti -social
Behaviour Order.*
So I have to wait for the courts to convict the tenant. That could take a year plus the time it takes to get possession of the flat and meanwhile he is frightening the other tenants in the 6 flats in the block. Making their lives a misery and causing me serious stress.
If a tenant is causing anti-social behaviour towards another tenant, or The Landlord, it would be very difficult to prove in court.
I can just see, as plain as a blue sky this happening:-
The police ask me to evict a tenant because the tenant is causing anti-social behaviour.
So I say to the Police;
“How do I evict them, I can’t prove anti-social behaviour”
The following two examples actually happened to me.
Here is why I can’t prove it:-
If a tenant is doing drugs in the flat I would have to gain access to the flat. So straight away The Tenant will say I’m harassing him/her by going in the flat without their permission.
I would also have to find the drugs.
I know they are on drugs because they are off their trolley when I see them.
They are also bringing their degenerate friends to the block of flats which is very frightening and very unpleasant to the other tenants.
Also Say a tenant is offensive and insulting to me every time I meet them, how do I prove that? I’m evicting a tenant now because of this reason. If they abolish section 21, I will not be able to evict the tenant.
DO NOT ABOLISH SECTION 21
I can’t work or carry on my business/investment if they make me prove
(a) To (d) as above
All of the above is a very good reason why we have section 21.
In other words, they can’t abolish section 21 because there is NO alternative that is workable.
This so called “No Fault Eviction” is a total load of rubbish. I think it was Paul Shamplina that said;
“I’m yet to meet a Landlord that has evicted a tenant without a reason”
