Rights to A Roof Over Your Head For Your Kids

[Naughty Vend]

I know this isn't business but a good friend of mine could do with some general advice, this is her situation...

Her husband left her a few months ago and they have not seen each other at all, lawyers are involved and a divorce is on the cards... she has two children to this man both early Primary School ages. The matrimonial home is owned by the now ex in-laws, they have given notice for her to quit on 01st March and despite the fact this will put her and their grandkids on the street have offered to rent the property to her for £900 a month which is well over the local going rate. It's obviously a ploy so she leaves and they claim the house was purchased as a business, not a home for them (they are quite wealthy) and of course none of this in writing because it was a gift when the going was good... it can't be proven in other words and the deeds are in the ex in-laws name. A hellish situation you'll agree.

What she needs is time to get organised and get a home to rent for her kids, what she needs to know are her rights of tennancy (In England) to stall for a wee while as effectively what is now the landlord is being unreasonable... well you know what I mean under the circumstances. Any way to stall in other words even just for a few months?

Any input appreciated.

If there is no contract in place what grounds are they giving for notice to quit? This is a complicated one and I would say a possible case of illegal aggravation by them. Interesting to see what the legal bods say.

This is hypocrisy Naughty Vend, when someone asked a question about working dogs in the business thread, you complained that it did not belong there and posed the question to the moderators! This even more belongs in the time out thread than the dog thread which was business related.

I understand it is in the legal thread but is still not business related.

I will say that I have no objection to your thread being here, just making the point about the hypocrisy. You feel it is relevant to be here and you have put it in the best place you consider it to be to get the best response, it is no different to the one who posted about a dog being used to guard business premises.

Aside this, I think if lawyers are already involved, your friend will probably have a lawyer of her own and so she should ask one of them. Hope the matter gets resolved fairly and good luck for the Children.

I'll take that one on the chin Consistency but in the circumstances wish there was a "Get Stuffed" button next to the "Thanks" button, your response is based upon selective comments of one such example from my posting '...is anyone home. Moderation.' about the standards on UKBF in another thread.

Only slightly related to this but reflective upon. Frankly, if there were a thread asking about customer service standards and how to speak to clients it would be headed "Actions Speak Louder Than Words", responses from Admins to user manchesterhypnosis http://www.ukbusinessforums.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=196360 illustrate my feelings on how this site has evolved... reading that and the attitude is just awful. That life on this forum has became so petty minded that the moderation simply can not cope, yes I read the number of postings that need deleted and tended to every day and it is a disgust. Anyway, who am I? Other than too busy to be wasting time on here.

To link two topics together and "have a go" at me fair enough, when one of those is about a young woman being made homeless along with her two young kids and that being your political currency. Hang your head in shame Consistency.

I will not hang my head in shame and stand by my thread. Obviously you take offence at being called a hypocrite well so be it. I have not used the thread to have a go at you, although if you want to see it that way, so be it again. I have used it as an example.

You suggested in a thread that a dog being used for business premises should not be there and it does. You care about these children, good for you and good for them. It would be good if more people cared but if you read the thread again about dogs that you said should not be there, you will see that people there also care about children but also care about dogs. People are unqualified and have dogs setting up a buisiness and use them without a clue what they are doing, then a few months, weeks or days, anytime until they get bored or think it is too much trouble to feed, those dogs then get passed off as pets and their history of "working" dog mode is hidden.

They get passed on to families such as the ones you are talking about and children get killed. That is not something I need to get facts and figures for to prove to you, children are getting killed due to have a go security people with their dogs who they do not understand. People need educating and you tried to trivialise what is a very important thread and well belongs there.

I have working dogs and they are a part of the business and people need to be educated on this wherever possible and where people may be making an attempt to have a try at using one of these dogs, need advice to get the proper training to try and prevent further deaths and deter people.

This is not an attempt to hijack your thread, but to defend why I will not hang my head in shame. You threw the first stone.
