I don't want to do this but if I've no other options then I will, just wondered if it was an option, they are a year into a 24 month lease. Thanks

I love the "Can I do xyz" question followed swiftly by contrary advice then the blinding response of-

"You're all wrong"

What the Effy Jeff was the point of asking if you "know" already FGS??

I think everyone should stop trying to fill in the gaps, if the information isn't volunteered there's no doubt a reason for that. He/She doesn't want to go into it.

Yes you can. For yourself, immediate family or a member of the clergy oddly!
The clause about yourself has been in all my contracts both landlord and tenant.

First paragraph talks about ground 1 and fixed terms.

So your mortgage lender is trying to repossess the property? Is that because you haven't paid the mortgage or because you've let it out without permission? Either way, can't see how living in the property would stop the repossession order so not sure how valid your legal advice is Hmm

essential ground 1 of a section 8 can only be applied after the end of a fixed term - the op's tenants are still in the fixed term.

I'm confused too Confused.

Are you breaking the terms of your mortgage by letting the house out? Is it not a BTL mortgage?

I can't think of any other reason why the house might be repossessed - but not if you live in it yourself.

Yes I believe you can - my tenancy agreement specifies this under Ground 1 Schedule 2 of the 1988 Housing Act.

Haven't read the other thread, but isn't this ground 1 under the section 8 eviction procedure?

If you're referring to me Atlas this thread showed up in active and I came to let the poster know that if they're facing homelessness then they have a right to live in their own home and the tennents can be evicted, I didn't know who had posted this before I came on thread.

And the issues op is posting about all conflict and contradict themselves

Why are stalking the op?
People can have more than one issue that want to post about.

I can't work out if OP is a troll or not. If you've got legal advice why post on mumsnet? Don't understand it or the agression when posters offer perfectly valid advice as per your other thread.

I really don't think mn is the place for you right now.

So you plan on having the mortgage provider begin repossession proceedings and evicting the tenants that way.

Do you believe that the bank will then just let you move back in and everything will be ok?

I despair of some people.

That is one of her 23 page posts Anthony where she already has a home, albeit with some over crowding issues. In it she claims to have put measures in place to get a larger less over crowded home, so why she suddenly needs legal advice on how to get back another apparently owned property is a bit confusing

I would also like to point out to all other posters that the OP has a history of inconsistencies in her posts and a tendency to get quite agressive if anyone dare disagree or call her out on something

If you want the property back to live in you can serve notice on a fixed term lease. Just make sure you follow the rules as doing so for that reason has different time limits to doing so as a result of the tenant's failure to keep up payment etc.

Look here: www.gov.uk/guidance/gaining-possession-of-a-privately-rented-property-let-on-an-assured-shorthold-tenancy#which-route-should-i-use

I find it a good starting point
