Get your stuff out within 7 days

[ummmm]

Obviously it is legally worded.

Don't you think that's a tad humiliating pinning a notice on the front window? My neighbour, but one, has it posted on his. Now we all know his private business.

Not that I would judge, it's just a little bit cruel, imo, it's kicking someone when their down.

[mccfluff]

bit nasty

[snags]

Depends what they did.

[EvianBaby]

I duno, depends on the back story.

[ummmm]

It looks like it's being repossessed.

If he hasn't responded to letters or knocks at the door then I guess they are obliged to demonstrate that they have unequivocally notified the occupants of their intentions.

I'm sure they have been given plenty of opportunities to resolve the situation, if they've buried their heads in the sand hoping it will go away this is the consequence sadly.

[Ellipsis]

Definitely harsh, maybe fair ...

[jno]

is this a window that's right on the street? I suppose there's nowhere else to put it.

[ummmm]

It's inside the house.

[daffy654]

Maybe he put it there himself because he feels aggrieved that he is being evicted. Sort of a "look what the bank is doing to me" type statement.

[ummmm]

No, it's official. I spoke to the lady next door when she caught me reading it properly :-)

She said it's a rented house and has been repossessed but the tenants paid their rent etc etc. It says about having 7 days to get their chattels out.

[andy-hughes]

I would imagine it's a last resort when all contact attempts have failed.

I believe that if a landlord gives seven days notice for the recovery of items, they can then be removed at cost to the tenent and sold to defray costs.

[cazzz1975]

they have to break the terms of their tenancy in order to be evicted surely?

[cazzz1975]

oh I get it, Im guessing the landlord hasnt paid the mortgage?

[thenry]

why can't your neighbour take the notice down ?

[ummmm]

They can, but they've moved.

That's it, I think, Cazzzzzzzzz.

Even so, I still think it's cruel.

As well as contact, it's probably a way of giving notice to as many as possible of the situation as the lender or their agents won't know who is or has been living or staying in the property themselves.

There may be other family members, tenants (possible without tenancy agreements, the property has been let without the lender's knowledge) and all kinds of other people staying.

There is also the risk of squatters if the owner being repossessed has already left the property.
