rosetaylor Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 I have signed a 6 months corporate letting agreement with a nursing home. In the agreement the nursing home is our tenant and the two nurses they have put into the house are named occupants. One of the nurses has brought his family into the house and broken the agreement with his company. The nursing home has consequently sacked the nurse and wrote to me ending the agreement with me at the end of the lease. They suggested that I make arrangements with the occupant to take over the leasing of the house but he cannot afford to pay the full rent. My question is, what is my position at the end of the tenancy if the named occupant will not leave the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Green Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 If my understanding is correct the nursing home cannot simply cancel their agreement with you without giving you vacant possession. These are just my thoughts and have absolutely no value what so ever, I really don't think that an anonymous forum is going to be able to supply you with authoritative references on the problem you have. You must look for a specialist solicitor not any old solicitor, 2 that I am aware of are Painsmith & Landlord Law (use google). [if anyone does know is this a tenancy by estoppel?] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mo999 Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 This is a good question. I am in a similar situation and have a Housing trust named as a Tenant on the tenancy agreement who have in turn placed someone in the property. I tried to evict through Accelerated procedure but the Court have said that the tenant is not an individual and therefore I cannot use Accelerated procedure. Does anyone know what procedure I must use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Green Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 You cant have an Assured Shorthold Tenancy with a Housing Trust, so before anyone can advise as to what procedure to use they are going to need to know what sort of agrrement it is.

mo999 Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 I have been informed that it is the usual AST agreement. The letting agent made a mistake by putting down the Housing trus as the tenant instead of the person they were going to house there. Any ideas on how this can be a resolved. I have been told that I may need to use the section 8 notice to remove the tenant but then the agreement with the housing trust is still there. Its really difficult to get my head around. Any advice which anyone can offer would be extremely helpful.. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
