Ok Here is a case that has opened up some arguements, so I thought I would broaden the whole thing
Property owned by Mr R C
Mr R C let the property to Mr S H – tenancy stipulated no sub letting
Mr S H sub let to current tenant – Miss S Z – statement of rent submitted 14.06.04 signed by Mr S H (verbal agreement no written tenancy)
Housing benefit was in payment until recently as Mr S H being the landlord
Claim suspended as Mr S H submitted letter to state Miss Z vacated property( this is incorrect she did not vacate the property)
Owner Mr R C has a claim for possession of his property stating both Mr S H and Miss S Z has breached the tenancy and forfeited the lease
This ground of possession is discretionary and Miss S Z wishes to fight the claim when it goes to court on the 27.11.06
Mr R C and Mr S H have not lived at the property since Miss Z has lived there
Mr S H is now illegally trying to evict her by changing the locks to the property
I think that there is a rental liability no matter how thin it may be, the claimant is occupying the property.
What do you reckon
