Friends mum evicting her from home ..who is being unreasonable?

[Whatloversdo34]

6 years ago my friends mum took out a mortgage for a property and my friend moved in with her family in the understanding she paid £450 a month to her mother and her mother paid the mortgage ..once it was all paid the house would b signed over to my friend.

15 months ago my friend fell out with her mother and stopped paying rent.
She now owes her mother £8600.
Her mother has been in touch with solicitor and has been issued with eviction notice.
If she doesn't leave (which she won't) her mum will be taking her to court and she will be evicted (probably take 4 months)
Who's in the wrong?
Her mother would see her daughter on the street with 2 kids.
My friend has spent £7000 on new kitchen/bathroom.
The last year she has been able to afford holidays /lovely house decor (obviously as she isn't paying rent)
Who is being unreasonable ?

Does she want to come and live with you now op?

Both her and partner works.

Can't believe you even need to ask. Your friend has ridden roughshod over her mother. You don't just get to stop paying rent. Where is all the money your friend hasn't paid in rent? That should be more than enough for bond and deposit on a new place. Mother is not making them homeless - friend did this all by herself.

Your friend. If she was concerned her children would be homeless she should have paid her mortgage, it sounds like she thought the kids were her ticket as their grandmother wouldn't hoof them out, more fool her clearly. Did her mother continue to pay in the money she did receive after this falling out? Then she has maintained her end of the contract despite the disagreement. Did her mother keep paying the actual mortgage in this time of no rent? Obviously as they still live there, that's her giving your feckless friend and opportunity to save her children from homelessness, I hope her holiday was worth it.
Do you think a mortgage co gives a shit you put a nice suite in if you don't pay them? Why should her mother who has to deal with that same mortgage company.

Her mother has been paying mortgage.
Friend has spent money on holidays/nice home decor etc ..which I know is very wrong.

So what has her partner said?

Falling out with your mother does not justify stopping paying money legitimatly owed whether rent or not.

Falling out with your landlord does not justify stopping paying rent.

What on earth kind of sense of entitlement does this friend have that they think they can go against a previous agreement and stop paying for their accommodation and have no consequences?

No idea -she hasn't said

There isn’t two sides the rent/mortgage needs to paid! How is her mum managing to pay the extra each month? Your friend is wrong and needs to find a new place to live! Her mum isn’t putting her on the street! There were lots of options before this your friend is the one who let it escalate!

I'm only getting my friends side of the story,I don't really know the ins and outs of everything

What do you mean you can see 'both sides' here OP?

There isn't another side.

She's treating her mum like a cunt, basically.

Her mum has a few business and from what I know is quite wealthy.

So the mother did her a favour and bought the house for her to live in on the understanding she paid the mortgage and she would own it ar th end. The daughter then decided to stiff the mother and leave her to pay the mortgage, whilst she got on with enjoying life and spending her money on nice things.

God that’s awful.

My friend has spent £7000 on new kitchen/bathroom.

Why?

Friend is a pisstaking CF. No wonder her ma threw her out.

You have it wrong.

Your friend is seeing herself and her DC on the street because she decided not to pay her rent.

People generally can't afford to pay their own rent PLUS a mortgage for someone else.

Your friend's mother may be struggling and would end up with the house repossessed and evicted herself whilst your friend has nice holidays.

Does your friend work?
Or claim housing benifit?

Of course the "friend" is BU

It's so obvious that the only way you couldn't see it is to be more involved than you're saying here.

Mother can't be enjoying taking her daughter to court. The fact that she's having to go that far is ridiculous. The "friend" needs to grow the fuck up and realise the world doesn't owe her a living.

If both her and her partner work why didn't they buy the house in the first place? Bad credit history at a guess, i wonder how many times the mother has bailed them out. I suspect your friend has serious issues.

So your friend expects to live in a house completely rent free and expects her DM to continue to pay for her to do so.

Your friend is being very unreasonable

That sounds like I was getting shirty at you op, I'm sorry, I really wasn't I am just gob smacked at your CF mate. Unfortunately even if the falling out was something deeply deeply shocking and heinous, doesn't matter, it should have been taken through a legal challenge to sort it out or cut ties or see what could be done but you can't just opt out without consequences.
Without knowing the details you can only speculate but it does seem that her mum's two year leeway points to her not being a monster.

If she fell out with the mum she should have moved out then and there.

To stay and withhold rent puts her in the wrong.

You don’t seem to know much op

Can I ask why you posted this?

If I stopped paying my mortgage I'm sure I would be evicted.
No 2 ways about it. A bills a bill. Your friend is taking the piss out of her mum.
I get it - she would see her own daughter out on the streets blah blah. But your friend is allowing her mum to pick up her payments and still wants the house and that isn't unfair?
