Urgent legal advice needed

[Worthing exile]

Hello NSC

I have let someone move in to my static caravan from 29/8 until the end of the year but they have now stopped paying rent.

They signed an agreement agreeing to pay rent weekly in advance and know they have to be out when the park closes on 3rd January.

Do they have any rights or can I just kick them out? They currently owe £900.

He says he will move out for £300 cash.

Any help will be appreciated.

I sympathise with you. If it were me I would employ the Hoogstraten method. Sounds like a real charming chancer that gives every decent private renter a stigmatism that is very underserved. He/she need their arses kicked. I know it's not legal but, jeez doesn't it make you want to go that route!

but does it matter that it is a holiday caravan and he has to leave at the end of the season?

 

[SIMMO SAYS]

You have to pay him £300 to go or the other way round?
I would take his £300 then call the mafia Sussex Division to size him up for some cement boots.
You think I' m joking don't you

the little s**t rented it as a holiday caravan last year so had no reason to expect this mess. Looks like it might be less aggro to leave him in there until the park kick him out after christmas.

No deposit paid up front.. to offset what you are owed?

I'd let the council know he's living there and liable to pay council tax and backdated, first round to you.
I have a static in Hastings but don't let it out. It's my weekend retreat

If he goes out to work, go round and change the locks. Surely the site owners could give you some help and advice. Good luck.

Also, I'd speak to the site owners and tell them the situation and get them to stop all utility supplies into the van, water gas and electric

i didn't expect it after last year and was on holiday when he moved in. I know, stupid.

Hi Moggy and Andy, I will be speaking to him again tomorrow night then seeing the park on Saturday.

Worried that 'cutting him off' would give him a stronger position, also he might get vindictive.

Hindsight is such a wonderful thing....learn for next time

Call the police and tell them he's trespassing?

Kick his stuff out and change the locks send the boys on for the £900

Never thought I'd agree with one of them, but this, get some mates together and pay him a visit...

 

[Worthing exile]

Learning all the time. Thanks for your help, and yes I expected the Palace comment

It's the best way as the park will hold you responsible for him being there on the parks closing date if he's paying you or not , you can legally get him out as he signed but that will take time and money

I know the council would advise him to stay there until you temove him , which I believe is a farster process now , but chucking him out will not give him time to damage you property
