  • Section 12 of the Torts (Interference with Goods) Act 1977

    Hi I need advice for the above, I want to serve this but having read it I see it's for landlords to serve tenants, only I'm the tenant.

    I want to serve this on my landlord to remove his furniture from the room I'm renting if he doesn't I'll get it collected and sent to recycling, I can't sell it I don't know how I would go about that it's just 1 small sofa a heavy coffee table and a faulty portable heater he didn't replace.

    I need these items gone urgently as I need space for other things. Can I serve him with this? How do I do this so I delete and amend the parts where it says tenant and where it says landlord, would changing wording on the firm make it invalid? How much notice can I give him, is 7 days sufficient?

    If I can't use this is there another form I can serve him to take it?

    ​​​​Thanks in advance.

    As an involuntary bailee Section 12 operates for you.
    I would suggest 14 days would be considered reasonable.
    When disposing of the goods be aware of para (5) "A bailee exercising his powers under subsection (3) shall be liable to account to the bailor for the proceeds of sale,.....). Perhaps get secondhand dealer to give a price or a notice that the goods are valueless.
