Hi All my saga continues!!! Private tenant on 6 month AST loses her job after making only two rent payment's. Housing Benefit finally stepped in after loads of phone call's and chasing, paid her arrear's then paid the following months rent (all good or so i thought as we don't rent to DSS but were left no choice even after offering to let her out of her lease!!) Received a letter from the council today to say her payments are suspended pending further investigation's and they may demand we pay her rent money back ( no reason's given ) tried to ring the tenent mobile phone cut off visited the property no reply at the door, posted a letter through the door for her to contact us and noticed loads of mail all over the floor and a pile of opened mail on the first stair as though she's been back opened mail and anything of no interest discarded on the stair, As it stands at the moment her rent is paid up to the 7th October via Council, Her tenancy ends 7th November we've decided not to renew her agreement and want her out (thats if she's even still there) My question's are is it the section 8 i have to send her??, what do i do if she's abandoned the property and i can't get in contact with her and has anyone else experienced the repayment of rent scenario i assume this is either because she's made no contact with the council or been working and claiming!!! Many Thanks Advice Alway's Appreciated........
