Problem Neighbour

[upsetspouse]

My next door neighbour is on bail for attempted murder and arson of the rental property she lives in. She has had to have the police accompany the ambulance crew to the property several times in the last three weeks usually three times a week they are called. I have spoken to the landlord who has said there is nothing he can do I came home on Saturday to the ambulance outside again. I live in a small community and everyone is afraid of what she is capable of.

Is it possible for the landlord to evict her without giving her a thirty day notice or is there anything else the neighbourhood can do to have her evicted.

Unless she defaults on rent etc no..she will be due normal notice to quit....but she may be off for a stay with Her Maj anyway soon ?

[mallyh]

hopefully she will be put inside when her trial comes up x

Why was the ambulance called so many times?

[upsetspouse]

I don't know why she calls the ambulance although on returning home on Saturday she looked a little high she is known to inhale aerosols

>>>Unless she defaults on rent etc no

But poster said "arson of the rental property she lives in" so surely trying to burn down the property you rent off someone is grounds to evict them out.

If you don't you are putting all the people who live nearby lives in danger.

[ummmm]

If she's on bail then surely she hasn't been charged yet?

[daffy654]

Can you ask the police to get one of those CRASBO things on her?

[hc4361]

VHG, she is innocent unless proven guilty, so the landlord's hands are tied.

[upsetspouse]

Am I right in thinking that it is only a thirty day notice the landlords have to give. We know her first court appearance is only at the end of June and as I have no faith in the justice system I have a feeling that she will be out on bail again.

I think they have to give 2 months notice

I can understand your concern over your neighbour but do remember she has to live somewhere and from what you say she may not yet have admitted the alleged offences or been to trial. The Landlord will have no special powers to act due to your neighbour being accused of criminal offences.

How long does her tenancy have to run?

Other than not conforming to specific terms in her agreement the LL has little scope for removing her before the tenancy is due for renewal. Serving a section 21 two months prior to the last dqy of aqgreement ie: if her tenancy is up on 1st Sept then notice must be given no later that two months before that (1st July) or even a couple of days early to be sure!!!

If you go round mob hqanded then you will be breaking the law.

Is she single? Does she have 'problem' children living with her?

[lcg]

no.....she is entitled to due process as long as she pays the rent and whatever the rental agreement says. if any aggression is directed towards you, you can contact the police and try to get some protection through them.

I assume she is getting the rent paid direct to the landlord by benefits so she is not going to default on it.
Sorry, but there is little you can do, she has to live somewhere and even if you could get her evicted you would just be passing the problem on to someone else.
Attempted murder is a definite prison sentence , so you will just have to hope she gets convicted.
I am actually surprised that she is on bail for such a serious offence , I would have thought she would be on remand or in a secure bail hostel. Can you find out her bail conditions ? she may be breaking them and the court could order her to be placed in custody.
