You're quite welcome.
And I forgot to mention, be sure to take lots of pics of the (clean) place before you finally vacate. Even if there's no deposit (which I hope there isn't because you'll never get it back from this guy), still take pics because it'll be your last chance to do so.

Land Registry search

I know it's only a34 or so to do a Land Registry search but why slouhd Tessa incur even this modest cost without a client to bill it too?I suppose she could scan it and e-mail it to the Council Tax section for the area where the property is situated with a brief note asking that they forward it to the landlord if they have his address. Then again, if the landlord is a client of Tessa's (I suppose an existing client might have remarried or otherwise be using a different name) or hopes to become a client then he/she might object to Tessa having informed the council about his business [for all I know the council own the property and it has been illegally sublet]. Might be best either to:-(a) stick it in the bin (or find somewhere to file it away) or,(b) post copies back to the tenant and the landlord (c/o the property) saying that she isn't sure why she has been sent it and saying she'd be grateful for a telephone call to help clarify things. [Yep, it would probably be cheaper to spend the a34 on the Land Registry search!

YOU NEED to take to court:Your copy of the 3-5 day [depending on your state]“pay or quit” notice you delivered to the tenants. Sent certified.when you get to court, which is a DETAIN ER action,you need to show the amount of rent, and proof that you have a tenantwho has not paid.IF the tenant chooses to show up at the court hearing, the judge will listen to the tenant explain why they have not paid, and if they have extenuating circumstances.if no special agreement is arrived at between the court and thetenant [only if they show up at court]you get a judgment. [rent due and costs]at this time, the tenants have 10 days to exit; not more time to paylate rent.If in 10 the tenant has NOT left, you must return to courtand seek a WRIT OF RESTITUTION.You take that writ to the sheriff’s office,pay the sheriff a SERVICE fee and wait 1-5 daysfor that service. When the sheriff arrives, you must have a locksmithso that you can have the lock changed.the sheriff will knock on the door and if no answer, thesheriff will take your key and open the door.if no tenant; you must remove all the belongings andstore them safely for 30 days. [after 30 days, the belongingsare yours]then, the unit is yours to re-lease.if the tenant[s] is still there, the sheriff will give them about 30 minto exit with all their belongings.the sheriff will stay there till they leave–or he mightleave and return……..problem solved.any time any tenant does not pay rent. while it might seem like using a sledge hammeron a fly, it is nothe needs to be sued. in small claims court.

Get a credit report. See if they pay their other bills on time. See if there are any judgements against them on their credit report.Call their current landlord. Also call their FORMER landlord (not the place they’re moving out of now, but the one before that). The current landlord might lie and say they’re great tenants, just to get them out of his place…it’s been known to happen. The former landlord will have no incentive to tell you anything but the truth.Oh, and when you make those calls, don’t just take their word for it that their landlord is who they say. Check the real estate records and make sure the names match up. The tenant might lie, too…it’s been known to happen as well. Good luck.

If you want to know your rights look up the laws online regarding landlord/tenant relationships. See, all that changes is your landlord in the event of the foreclosure. So you may even want to contact the plaintiff’s attorney (the law firm that is handling the foreclosure) and see if they can contact the mortgage holder in the event of the foreclosure. You should be listed as a defendant if your living there if it is just “unknown tenant I” so you are entitlted to know about what is happening on the case. Also you should have been served. That gives the case #. Call the courthouse and speak to the county clerk if you want to know what the status is. If you can afford a lawyer I would recommend it.You should pay your rent for sure because all not paying it will do is get you an early eviction.
