A family member of mine, owns a property in his name and pays for the mortgage. It is occupied by someone who he had a previous relationship with (not married) but she still occupies the property and does not pay any rent. We want possession of the property back. But I think the occupier will try and be difficult.
What is the best way to evict this person because I know that they are not a tenant so is it a more straight forward process? They have never paid rent. Can I just instruct a bailiff if they don't respond to a written letter?
