High there, I would appreciate some help.
One og my lodgers moved into my property in January informing his local council (Derby City) by phone of the date of his leaving. He then moved into my property on the 23rd January 2018. Shortly after he got Local housing allowance, which is paid to me and had his PIP and ESA payment addresses moved to my address.
Recently he was in hospital for surgery. While he was there I had a visit from and enforcement agent working for Bristow and Sutor.
It turn out that his old council have taken him to court for non payment of council tax. There are five incidents which each have a charge attached.
However the council are charging him council tax up to april of this year. Surely he cannot be liable . the landlord is a rouge, the property was squalid damp and ridden with bed bugs. The landlord was asked for a copy of the tenancy agreement which he has refused to supply. My lodger was given a copy when moved into the property 20 years ago. I believe the ex ll has been claiming LHA for my lodger up to April.
He has money management problems due to the large amount of opiate and other medication he takes for pain.
My questions are as follows.
1) what do we do about the dates for which he isn't liable. Do I approach Derby and ask them to remove the case in toto or just for the dates after he moved out.
2) is our car at risk from overenthusiastic clamping? If so what do we do about it. (My lodger cannot drive and does not have even a provisional licence.)
3) Are other lodgers goods at risk? Should i do anything.
4) The lodger lives in a garden annexe completely detached from the main house. If the EA gains entry to that building does that count as gaining entry to the main building?
