My dad is 69, he's been his brothers carer for many years. My uncle lived in a warden aided place around the corner from my parents, dad did all his shopping and looked after him (uncle had learning difficulties).
Unfortunately, uncle was taken into hospital this year, and never came out, dying in May. Dad has had to pay for the funeral and do all the sorting out of the house my uncle was living in, been told by the housing place to remove all the furniture, all the carpets etc. Dad has yet again expressed his concerns that the house is very damp, and the person who came to see my dad agreed. There was a fixed date for dad to return the keys (not expired yet).
Anyway, dad has received a letter this week asking him for money because "four weeks notice was not provided to end the tenancy agreement".
Can they do that? Dad was never the person paying the rent, the rent was part of uncles benefits.
Am going to phone up on Monday on behalf of my dad, I don't think its fair he has to pay for the property; a) how the heck do you give four weeks notice before you die and b) the house was in poor condition anyway and the housing association hadn't completed their promises to resolve the damp.
Am I fighting a losing battle?
