My name Folo, I am 35 years old and British passport holder and a graduate from LMU and Guildhall. I am overwhelmed by current situation which has been dragging on for 12 month. I am a reasonably well read but this is now too much for me. I have court again on Friday at 11am 11th of April 2014 and need advice as I cannot afford a legal representative. Trying to get "my life" back has now taken over my life and is destroying my health, career and relationship with my little girl.
PLEASE help me. This site was recommended to me by another LB user who stated the advice she received changed her life.
I was renting room in a flat whilst studying (again) at Kensington and Chelsea College. On he 27th of March 2013 I was evicted from my room and the land lady took all my possessions including my lap top which I used for work (it has specialist computer programmes for music), she also took my passport which a Judge has verbally told her to return to me. I am in court on Friday morning at 11am and Thea is coming with me to help as I have no legal representation.
This ordeal has affect my health, my studies, my family life (I am a dad) and my future career, I had opportunity with Pinewood Studios which has been withdrawn due to my work tools eg computer and programmes, film script being taken unlawfully by landlady.
BTW i am not the only tenant to whom she done this. In court she claimed to fear for her safety, which is a joke since she is ex military. I never received a copy of a document proving she put the money for deposit in the protection scheme.
Below is the time line as to what happened:
Please Help!

Below is the time line as to what happened:
- Dec 2011 - I move into NW10 3RE. I notice (landlady) is far less friendly as soon as her rent is secured. She doesn't respond well to requests for basic facility faults & is incommunicado re travel as a live in landlady.
- January 2012 - my property is vandalised by her previous tenant as (landlady) secretly double rented. (landlady) changes locks & stalls giving my key while receiving rent. (landlady) refuses to put locks on the doors. (landlady) confuses me with talk of wanting me to move out in tandem with talk of intent to leave the property to me & the other tenants if I wait 1 month to be moved out of the £100pw room (she had me in throughout entire 1 bed flat tenancy) into the double room as legally agreed.
- Feb 2012 - I had to book police officers to force (landlady) to give me a copy of the key. (landlady) bewilders the 3 policemen by asking them to return when she isn't sleeping. Police advise I move out as they class her a nuisance at best & an extremely difficult landlady at worst.
- March - Brent 1-Stop staff advice me against moving out due to new laws passed ending my eligibility for 1 bed housing benefit (over 35s only, I was 33yrs at that point).
- June 2012 - (landlady)'s lies leave me aware of her lack of morality & her happily defrauding tax payer's, Brent & completely ignoring the tenancy agreement. Her confusing mix of slow feeding promises to afford me my legal entitlements in contrast with offbeat claims that she wants me out clearly serve as a distraction from & security blanket for her illegal practices.
- July 2012 - Brent Law Centre tell me they know numerous of (landlady)'s previous tenants have lodged complaints about her misconduct.
- Aug 2012 - Brent council advice I stop £250pw payments as a result of (landlady)'s illegally obtained 150% profit failing to oblige her towards her professional duty.
- Oct 2012 - Brent council explain that they're legally obliged re-route housing benefit back to (landlady), even though I've been kept in tiny room while sharing bathroom, while she's paid £250pw as if I've been provided 1 bed flat facilities promised. Up until illegal eviction I'm forced to split my time between NW10 3RE & friends & family as (landlady) illegally denied me the space she was paid for me to have. I fear she'll fiddle a way around paying my deposit. All relevant offices clearly do not care.
- Dec 2012 - I end 2012 cramped in same tiny as if my tenancy agreement was for shared when it was for 1 bed flat. Disgusted at both (landlady) happily messing with my life in full knowledge of my parental duty to my (then 2yrs) daughter. I'm equally damaged by lack of care from Brent council. (landlady) pretends she isn't a fraudulent landlady & ignores my requests for my deposit. I can't relocate without my deposit & fail to grasp why with all the money she makes illegally she can't give my deposit back so I can move on.
- March 27 2013 - Amid my music tech exams (landlady) illegally evicts me, locking away all my clothes & study tools & docs & passport.
- April 18 2013 - (landlady) shows how much practice she's had ripping off her tenants. District Judge J B find every lie (landlady) told a more convenient listen & I'm evicted. Judge rules I'm to collect my things by 25th of April.
- April 25 2013 - When asked if another day will do, (landlady) insists I travel from Langley (outside of London). I stand & wait for 6-7hrs & my hired van man had to leave to pick kids up from school after 3-4hrs. Limited Police support is on hand. An officer loses his temper over the games (landlady) played all day that day & the following, leaving us all unaware of her location. I'm totally confused by how she's able to ignore the judge yet no bailiff as I was told she have to comply with ruling or bailiff & locksmith would open door….bailiff hid from my calls after previously warning me against taking the law into my own hands in event of (landlady)'s Antagonism.
- From the until now I've weathered Willesden county court admin cock-ups wasting yet another year of my life. Sarah Teather MP contacted Brent Police on my behalf as I've been ignored re (landlady)'s illegal possession of my British passport, deposit & all my things including the tools upon which my employment depends. Academic staff sign docs re damage done to my music tech studies at end of year course. I'm advised to seek damages re pinewood studios film script/project locked away on my laptop, & music projects aborted for same reason.
Please Help!
Kind regards
Folo
