To think my landlord is a spiteful dickhead

[3kiddosandme]

At this point im thinking my landlord is just a spiteful dickhead, I'll go into as much detail as possible here.
Earlier this year I was sent a section 21 notice out of nowhere, I questioned this and the landlord said because of significant damages to the property I have to leave. Now I have evidence that these significant damages are not my fault, I had the environmental health in because I was fed up of living in a shit hole basically, the whole house needs ripping out and fixing including floorboards and external doors according to the local council who did the inspection, the landlord also has to take up an asbestos survey due to damaged ceiling in the hallway.
I have 3 kids I the house, one is additional needs. I was offered a house by a housing association and I accepted, im yet to get the keys but the house was on major repair, I said this to the current landlord who said they were happy to let me wait it out, no repairs have done either by the current landlord as per the council report. They took me to court to evict me even though theyd said I could stay until my house was ready, ive never been behind on rent always paid in full and on time, a week ago the landlord turned up completely unannounced banging on the door I opened the door and I was told I should've moved out by now as the court stated the 25th july, I told them to get a warrant for eviction and come back with bailiffs, as of yet I haven't heard anything from the bailiffs. I emailed expressing that they didnt give any notice and they turned up with keys to let themselves in and since I haven't returned keys or made them aware that ive moved it was completely unacceptable. They stated that they sent a letter, they never did as ive still not recieved this magic letter they apparently sent. Anyway every single day they are emailing me asking for keys to be returned and I keep telling them I will return the keys once I have moved. At this point I just think they are being absolute dickheads. I hopefully should get the keys to the new property today.
Wibu to move and then throw they keys into their office in an envelope and leave without saying a word.

I really don’t understand the vitriol you’ve been getting! If you leave before the bailiffs the council will deem as intentionally making yourself homeless and not help. You’ve had to live in appalling conditions due to the neglect of the landlord who is a proper slum landlord. You’re doing the right thing and I really do hope this new property is a brilliant new start for you and your children

Yes and they would never get another property if they’ve had bailiffs involved before

Where does op say the landlord need to find her a home?

Complying with the law means going through the legal steps of eviction not harassing the tenant. Oh and the house to be in a liveable condition. So it seems hes not Complying by the law.

I think it’s worth showing respect to people who earn £200k. They pay £80k a year income tax and are likely the people funding the rent on this property in the first place.

For those that have said I.must have "trashed" the house this is just 5 of the hundreds of pictures i have of the current condition of the house, the kitchen is when I was decorating and I asked for the landlord to sort and they just sprayed bleach on it amd told me to let it dry

I think your very rude to assume that I claim housing benefit when infact I pay my taxes and I pay my own way

There is no way to know exactly what has happened because we are only hearing your side of the story .
You should have left the house on the 25th July . It’s not your house and you and the children’s father are responsible for housing your own family. Are you not disappointed that you have failed to give your three children a safe roof over their heads ?

Op has already said she works full time abd pays the rent.

But even if she didn't and tax payers were funding the rent surely they would want to fund less. And socal housing often means less.

I’m a LL but I can’t really see how the op can be blamed for all this. Not sure why many are giving her a hard time.

He’s clearly a shit penny pinching LL.

Those photos are grim.

Fair enough, sorry for assuming that,

@ByMerryDeer are you being serious - someone who makes £200k a year is no more worthy of respect than any other human.

That might be the most mental thing I have ever read on here.

I haven't failed, my kids dad although is a.very good dad doesnt live with us our relationship broke down when the youngest was just 2 weeks old, we both moved out of the house we shared and he lives now in a 1 bedroom place and visits the kids every single day after work without fail, there's never any excuses from him and we actually get on alot better now than we did back then. Unfortunately due to him having his own rent to pay and bills hes not in a position to help fund a new property but if he could he would without a doubt.

Neither are they more worthy of disrespect. Is that really the most mental thing you’ve read on here ? Have you not seen the posts on Sydney Sweeney?

Fuck the landlord. He’s an irresponsible parasite. He should never have been allowed to rent out a property that was in such a state of disrepair.
The people on here blaming you are probably landlords themselves (but I’m sure they’re all the ‘good’ landlords 🙄).
No way in hell should you move before your new home is ready.
I hope you get sorted.

MN - Social tenants are spongers and should move to private rentals.
Also MN - Private tenants are scum if they expect a LL to follow the law and should move to social housing.

Those photos are shocking. He should be completely ashamed of himself.

I don't read celeb threads

If someone amasses a wealth through property hording, greed and operating a wholly unethical business - like being a landlord -then they absolutely deserve disrespect as a minimum.

The dregs of society are those who have a property in such a poor state of disrepair and refuse to fix it while expecting the tenant to live in it and pay rent.

Couldn’t have put it better myself.

Occupying something that isn’t yours and waiting for bailiffs. Dregs of society. I’m guessing you’re on benefits too as you’re unable to support yourself or the children you decided to have that you couldn’t afford.

How is the landlord not a dreg of society? And people on here are actually on his side 😂 it’s laughable. Oh poor him, he’s trying to run a business and pay a mortgage 🙄
And what’s wrong with being on benefits?

Some right nasty people on MN these days.

OP you are doing the right thing stayiing - as advised by experts

Ignore all the landlords throwing temper tantrums.

Looking at those photos OP has posted, he's not trying very hard to run his business, is he?

It looks to me like he's just sitting back and watching the money roll in from OP while letting his "business," aka OP's home, fall into ruin.

Sounds like they're earning those salaries through being slum landlords!
