LBA passed in person

[jp19]

Hi, my first post . I am a tenant living in a shared house. Long story short: I went on holiday and landlord asked keys to my room because he repairs the house and wanted to go inside for some reason (he did not tell me the reason). When I came back many things were broken and missing (like computer things). He did not tell me his landlord address (but he owns the house). My question is that can I pass the letter before action in person as he comes to repair the house next time? I was thinking handing it over in person and taking a video about it plus sending a text message about it. Is this a good plan? Or I need to post it to my own house (which he owns)? Or I need to ask his address? But, is it ok if I just pass it to him when I see him? Thank you

Who is your tenancy agreement with ? That should have the address of your landlord on.

Have you complained to him already about the broken/missing items ? What was his response?

Did he lock your room inbetween when he was accessing it? ( ie could another tenant have caused the breakages due to the landlords negligence in leaving your room unlocked )

Landlord changed just recently and he did not give any address yet, but he owns our house and visits it almost every day currently as he repairs it.


Yes I complained. He seems to ignore it by not answering and saying "I did not do anything" and "I will come to your room to clean it and show where it is". I checked the whole room and all bags where he said it is, and its missing. Plus the computer broken because they carelessly moved it.

I keep sending text message to him, but he does not really reply. He sends back messages about other things like repairs.

I think he locked it as we agreed yes. It was locked when I came. Plus I have nice tenants, they would not go there I am sure.

But, my primary question here is that is it legally ok if I pass the LBA in person by hand (if I video it also)?

(By the way, I started another thread about the issue about damages... but I just asked here about the paper issue, if you want to follow the damage topic)

the claim itself can be served personally (https://www.justice.gov.uk/courts/pr...les/part06#6.3) so there is no reason why the LBA can't be served likewise

Nice answer with the link, thanks. NIce to read the law itself.

Just a follow up: the LL paid the external hard disc and also fixed thecomputer part. He did not "want to get any troubles"**... so it's all good now. But it took some time, that's why I started thinking what to do.
