  1. Just a quick post to avoid a confusion: when i say that contracts arent legally enforceable if both parties dont have a copy, this isnt the case if one party has simply lost their paperwork. I am specifically referring to a situation where one person never had a copy to start with. as an example: This is the reason that if you take out a credit card or loan agreement for example they are so insistent that you have an identical copy. People can and have argued in the county court that they cannot be held by the terms of a contract if they never had one to begin with or if their copy is different...... So long as you know your rights under an assured shorthold tenancy (your rights under the Housing Act 1988) then you know where you is with your landlord. You should consider writing to your landlord (and keep a copy of the letter). Letting him know that you have a right to 'Quiet Enjoyment' and that his frequent unannounced visits are breaking the Housing Act 1988.
  2. He can evict her under the terms of an assured shorthold tenancy (This is a point in law and not dependent on wether or not she has a copy of any agreement. Her Written or Verbal agreement can only ADD favourable terms to those minimums allowed her under the terms of an assured shorthold tenancy, it cannot take them away To be safe anyone in this situation should always assume they have the minimum the law allows them: check out the Shelter website or the CAB website for details of what an assured shorthold tenancy allows you.
  3. To have a fully legally enforceable contract both parties have to have a copy of it. In the absence of a written contract (yours doesnt count if you dont have a copy of it) then to be safe you should fall back on the minimum safeguards that the law allows you (these apply wether or not you have anything in writing or verbal): ....... (Note: it may be possible in a county court to argue that certain verbal conponents of a contract had been established by repitition or other means, but defending unusual clauses a contract under such circumstances will be uncertain and probably fail, it all depends on what is considered 'reasonable')........ This is what i suggest you do: Consider yourself to have an assured shorthold tenancy (statutory periodic if your initial 6 months is up) There is a link to it on the following (you will have to cut and paste and add the ht tp:// prefix as im not allowed to post URLs til ive made 15 posts....This is a link to a summary of it on the shelter website: england.shelter.org.uk/advice/advice-271.cfm#wipLive-3859-2 I would question whether he is giving you your minimum rights as you say he has been entering your property (unannounced???) on several occasions, which would be breaking your right ot 'quiet enjoyment'. If you have any further queries or worries then visit your local CAB (you never know it might even be me you speak to) LOL.
  4. Live in Attercliffe, theres no irritating neighbours, and its the historical/industrial and former cultural heart of sheffield. I love it, having no neighbours but the steel works, its gothic industrial heaven (and its great for trams/buses/meadowhall/M1 and city centre! Not everyones cuppa but id never move away, ever!
  5. My mum just stored all of her worldly belongings in Armadillo for 8 months near Nunnery sq tram stop (Parkway depot). They were very secure with really helpful and friendly staff she had her own keys to her own lock up room. There was lots of trollies to use for moving things in and lots of huge great security doors. Nothing had to be carried up any flights of stairs. I think its safer than anyones house ever could be. Theres enough parking in its grounds to make loading/unloading easy, and she had no problems with giving stupid notice periods when she needed to move her stuff on. Id recommend it.
