Housing problem

[nishad.zaman]

Hi. Good evening everyone.

My landlord has been harassing me for quite a long time and it is already recorded some incidents with the council and the police as well.

Today I have received a letter from the landlord via the door letter box which asks me to go to the court for the hearing in relation to the property possession. The letter was issued dated on 11 July 2017 and asks me to attend the hearing on 17 July 2017.

Moreover, I have not received any response form attached to the letters from the landlord and believe that I suppose to get 14 days to response to the court whereas I have been given only 3 working days to response and send the documents to the court which is impossible.

Please advice as it is urgent and how can I postpone the hearing or delay or request for further time to response. Or are those documents genuine or sent to me followed by the proper legal procedures?

Thanks a lot.

Regards

This is not an immigration matter.

You have posted in the Tier 4 category: if you are a university student you can get housing advice from your university.

Or contact Shelter charity urgently. Your landlord appears to be breaking the law in terms of harassment and illegal eviction process.

It is a criminal offence if he harasses you and illegally evicted you and he could get jailed.

Did you contact Shelter?
