Richlist Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 1. Forging signatures is a criminal offence.......report it. 2. BTL mortgages do not normally allow non BTL residency. 3. The tenant(s) have security of tenure for the fixed term of the tenancy agreement. Notice can only take effect from the end of the tenancy agreement.

deanzone32 Posted September 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 hi thanks for this, can i as one of the landlords issue a new legal agreement to the tenant to prevent this happening and would this over rule the illegal one as i really dont want to make this person homeless. this is all new to me, so your advise is really appreciated dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melboy Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 Inform your tenant to stay put and only to take notifications from yourself and not your partner. Report your Partner for forging your signature on a legal document. She will only get a caution from the police but it may help to calm her down and make her back off. Mel.

deanzone32 Posted September 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 hi again thanks for this, its really good advise and i am going to take it. i will let you know how i get on. i need all the help i can get as i firmly believe that she is suffering from bi-polar, her behaviour is so irrational at the moment, i won't go into too much detail about it but if she carries on down this route we will lose everything including the family home. i don't know what to do as nobody in the medical profession will listen. any advice on this will be great too thanks again dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carryon Regardless Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 The advice you seek is closer to divorce advice rather than as LL. Something I learned from watching situations was to separate financially, legally. At the start of my 1st divorce my solicitor did this effectiviely meaning from that date she wasn't spending my money, debts created wouldn't be my responsibility. A bit more complicated with your 'shared' properties but here you need to protect yourself from potential claims against you as LL(s). Effectively 1/2 the 'stuff' you have is hers. You need legal advice to protect your 1/2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
