Hi everyone

I woke up today to be greeting by a lovely letter from the Sherriff's department saying I have 28 days to vacate the property or I will be forced out and all my belongings will be placed on the street...how can this happen?

Well, it seems my lovely landlord has been neglecting to make the payments on the house. So, all the rent I have been paying her for over a year now has been spent on only God knows what and now I have to move out because of her incompetence! Grrrr!

What really irkes me about this is I have no rights! I rang up the solicitor and he confirmed that regretably there is nothing he can do since she has errored and the bank has the right to forclose...what about me? Not to mention, that I can't afford to leave and I can't afford the moving out fees and hiring trucks to move everything. Aswell as, the rental market has skyrocketed lately and I can no longer find the property at the price it is now...oh, and did I mention that she already put the price of rent up a couple of months back? So on top of all that...I have no choice but to move or else!

This has really opened my eyes. What if I had a kid? or more than one? Where's the justice in that?? The bank will force the innocent tenants out even with kids because of the landlord's errors? It's bloody shocking!

It also has made me realise that I was living under the illusion that I was safe and secure. I thought for a few more years yet, I would be secure. HA!!! How fustrating now, that my living conditions and now my plans for security and peace of mind have been stolen from me because some person hasn't paid the bills! I'm so pissed off!

*sigh* Sorry guys, I need to vent. But it's just so unfair...this changes many things. Work, savings, living accomodation...its horrible :(

sweetie im so sorry in what is happening to u but stay positive i know its hard right now, that is so unfair that u have to move out of there because of your imcompetent landlord. gd luck in everything sweetie, i hope everything works out for u here is my blessing and one of my huge hugs keep us updated huggies

You vent away - it is better expressed than contained within.  However, once the initial anger has gone, I hope you will see that this will have happened for a reason - hard to see at the moment, I know.  I am sure you will find somewhere new and that it will be better than the one you are in at the moment - more secure with a responsible person overseeing it.

Here's one of my HUGE hugs for you, Sweetie - stay positive and show the irresponsible idiot of a landlord that you are able to cope with whatever life throws at you.

Brightest Blessings

that's terrible.  i am so sorry.  a huge hug for you.

A big Grandpa hug to you.....yes it is a hard situation for you...and I hope you will manage to find something you are able to live with.

The sole one to blame is the landlord....he/she is the one that has brought forward the situation by not fulfilling l their commitments.

In our laws you are protected against them and their option to end a rental, but if we should have the same protection against bank and other financial companies, any "rent house" had to be set as value zero....because no one would have any security to get their money back....or they had to be willing to take over the "renters" , but then you could be sure the rent was adjusted to highest price.
This is not any help for you....just an explanation why it's important to find good landlords.

Another big Grandpa hug and lots of good luck in your hunt for a new place to live!
