I Hate Tenants
My last question obviously got pulled for too many swear words. Sorry
I have at last reached the end of my tether and given up trying to be nice to my tenants.
They have lied tooth and nail and delayed as much as they can knowing I am (desperately soft) too reasonable.
They were given copious amounts of chances to put this right. But they chose to just use my helpfulness to delay the inevitable and obviously save money by not paying the rent.
They have now made an accusation, via the local council housing department of harassment by my OH at her place of work.
For a start I don't even know where she works. She didn't even put employer details of the form she sent to the court for the CCJ and I have asked her for the details a number of times and she has refused to tell me.
OH has nothing to do with the property save for occasional maintenance but he hasn't even done that for two years as I get a man in to do it. He was unaware of her arrears or of the CCJ or that she had been served a section 8 or that I now Had a date to go to court to gain possession. I don't even know where either of them work and he certainly didn't know.
How in gods name do you answer or refute an accusation of harassment when none has happened and it is a blatant lie?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I take it this is now sorted, but it sounds like high court enforcement would be the best course of action. There are a handful of high court enforcement companies that can help you recover money/property possession - I recommend Burlington Group (https://www.burlingtongroup.co.uk/) as they have an office directly opposite the High Court in London so can obtain the High Court Writ quickly.
