Liberal treatment of arses like that have made the society we’re blessed with today.
😆 Fantastic joke. Well done!
I’m not sure about the “lodgers don’t have any rights” statement.
That’s because it’s legally ignorant. Unless someone here is actually a lawyer well versed in Housing Law, and can actually quote the Law for real, I’d still urge you to get proper legal advice. Especially, as you say, your lodger is registered for Council Tax. This may have significant bearing on things legally, I’m not sure.
As for the Keyboard Warriors preferred method of ‘kick him out on the street’, or the more cowardly ‘get a couple of mates round’ type approach; not only could it land you in a whole heap of trouble with the Law, you have to bear in mind the evictee may well be the type to seek ‘revenge’. What if you turn up with a couple of big mates, then he calls round a couple of his own even bigger mates, with heavy/sharp objects?
There’s some useful advice here, but it’s only guidelines, as you’ve not revealed all the details of the arrangement with your lodger.
