SARA | Landlady evicting me from flat 7 weeks after having my first baby |
Hi everyone,
I am suffering from depression because of sooo many stressful things happening in my life, one of them is the fact that i need to go abroad to meet family but i am stuck here because landlady is getting eviction order any day from now.
i got severe depression and it's getting worse every day, if not every minute, i NEED to go home for some balance and proper recovery from a traumatic childbirth.. everytime i turn my computer on i think of booking my flight but then i get stressed when i remind myself that i cant because of this silly landlady ...
i dont want to waste money going all the way home abroad and receive an email from her telling me that i have one week to leave flat!! then i will have to come back to get my things out of the flat
please help me sort it out.. what shall i do?
grateful for any advice
thanks
Additional Details
thanks for your wonderful advice
landlady evicting me simply because i have a baby now, she told me about it once she heard i am pregnant, i used to pay her rent on time, not even one day late, when i told her i am not moving she took it to the court, court gave her possession order couple of months ago, not she is seeking eviction order which i know that she will be granted, so i have no chance, she is the owner of the flat, and has the right to evict me after giving notice, now it's question of time
when she took the case to court she told them thant the reason is : the need for maintainance ( that's her excuse!!!) |

If you are in the UK you will be unintentionally homeless, and with a dependant you will be in priority need. This means the Council have a duty to find you accommodation, it might only be temporary or a B&B but rest assured you wont be on the streets. So get off to the Council/ housing dept and tell them you have nowhere to go. Also make sure you tell them about your medical problems.
There is a lot of miss information on here - under section 21 of the housing act the Landlord does not have to give ANY reason for seeking possession of the property, so forget about all that 'she can only kick you out if you are behind with rent or anti-social stuff'. Provided she issued the correct notice (2 months, not 30 days), she can seek a possession order in court and there is nothing you can do I'm afraid.
I haope it works out for you. |

Go to the Citizens Advice Bureau, that's if you live in the UK. |

Why dont you move out first? Put all the stuff you dont NEED in a storage place, and then go see your family. If you dicide to need to make a move then all your stuff is already packed. If you are getting evicted, all your stuff is already packed, and already out of the way. |

She has to give you 30 days notice. Talk to your Dr. about postpartum depression. |

why is she evicting you? The only good reason would be if you hadnt paid your rent or if you were abusing the flat. More info about why needed. |

She sounds like a hateful woman. Why don't you have a large yard sale and sell of anything you don't want or need. Use the money to move back home permanently. |

You are not making any sense.
If you are worried about her not getting her rent on time because you are out visiting your family post date a check for the date rent is due and give it to her in advance. |

Your landlady has to give you a written 30 day notice in order to evict you on the 1st or 15th of the month. If you are behind on your rent I suggest you talk to her and make payment arrangements with her and stick to it. I would hope that you wouldn't plan to see your family overseas and spend that kind of money if you can't pay your rent.
No landlord has the right to throw you out with a seven day notice, that is illegal. The only time short notices like that are given is if your landlord took you to court and the court ordered a 3 day notice that the sheriff department would give to you. After the 3 day notice given by the sheriff's if you aren't out then your landlady has the right to lock you out.
You should seek counseling or join Parents Anonymous if you have the baby blues. It is for the good of both you and your newborn baby. Good luck to you. |

First off, you should get to a doctor to get some medication for post-partum depression. It's very common in new mothers and even non-new mothers. Then you should see if there's a local support group for mothers of new-borns you can join. Then see if there's any way at all to get out of the eviction. I.E. clean up, or pay the rent, borrow money etc. Just take it one day at a time and try not to worry too much. It's hard to be a parent and can sometimes get overwhelming. Especially if you're alone. Best of luck. |

Talk to a parent or if you are religious, talk to your God/godess/gods/goddessess/ancestors, etc. Also trying to talk to a friend and try to get her/him to smooth things out with your landlady or give you aid/support.

Plan the trip home & enjoy your visit - but b4 you go find a new place to move to. Avoid the EVIL land lady at all costs.
No need to add extra stress. Good Luck to you. |

1st, you need to talk to your doctor about postpartum depression, it is more common than some people think.. 2nd, Why are you being evicted, is it for non-payment? See if you can work out a payment arrangement, if not, find a friend or neighbor to help you clear out your flat before you leave. At any rate you need to clearly explain your situation to her and keep the lines of communication open. Be assertive, after all, you have a baby to worry about now. Take everything one thing at a time. Make a list and prioritize so you don't get frazzled. Best of luck! |

Ah, don't worry. You're not going to die anytime soon, so why should you fret? You're healthy, and you have a family, so...
Even if you are being evicted, just try to look on the bright side of things. (I know it's hard, but it really helps.) |
|
Ashley and Riley due soon!!

Number 1, she has to legally give you 30 days notice, so go to your citizens advice bureau. Number 2, if the worst comes to worst, go to your local housing department. Having a baby, they will find you immediate housing, so dont worry too much. Good luck. |

Why not talk to your landlady and see what can be done to resolve the situation?
Usually evictions happen because one is not paying their rent in a timely fashion. Other causes may be partying or loud music or some other unsavory action that is taking place in the flat. If the problem is your rent money, perhaps you can resolve it. If it's an habitual lateness, then you might have a problem.
Really, we don't know what the issue is because you didn't tell us. It's difficult to offer help when one doesn't know what the problem is.
In any case, I wish you and your baby well. |

What she is doing is ILLEGAL!
She cannot evict you just for having a baby - your family status is none of her business as long as all adults are on the lease and you pay the rent on time.
The hard part is proving that her reason is fraud. I'm not quite sure how to do that- it would be worth consulting a lawyer. |

If you are paying your rent and abiding by the contract, you should be fine and she has no grounds for booting you out. I think you need to add more information. Can you get another place to live if you know the inevitable? Have you seen a doctor for medication for your severe depression? We can only offer advice but it is you who has to actually do it. You sound like you may be procrastination as a result of your depression. |

the council have got to give you a flat because you have a child. its against the law to leave you homeless. go to citizen advice, they will advise you. good luck.xx |

Don't panic yet! The main reason for being able to evict someone is non payment of rent. As long as you are not two months behind, this is not an option for her. Every other option is at the judge's discresion and there are not many judges who will be impressed by her behaviour!
It is very important that you get proper advice before you do anything silly. Contact Shelter and your Council Private Letting department immediately and explain the situation to them. Do this first thing tomorrow morning and then get yourself down to the council office, take a pen and fill in the council housing application form then and there. You will be told that even if she does get an eviction order you must not move - if you do, you could be making yourself intentionally homeless. Getting to court will take her two weeks to a month and the court would give you a month even after that. From what I have read and heard, maintainance is not official grounds for ending a tenancy. It sounds rather spiteful - another thing that does not look good in court.
When did you move into the flat? Was it after last April? If so, have you had details of where your deposit is being kept for safekeeping? If you haven't then the liklihood is that it is not in a government approved scheme - this is illegal and will give your landlady a criminal record as well as her being ordered to pay you compensation which could be as much as three times the deposit. Have you seen a copy of the gas safety certificate? Many landlords forget about this but it is also a criminal act not to have one. Your landlady does not need a criminal record!
You need to take action now. I know it is hell with depression - I'm bi-polar so depression is a natural state of affairs for me but you will feel much better if you share this with someone who can help and spell out your rights. In private renting, you need to be well clued up on these! Let us know how you get on.

Go here : http://www.probono.net/ and try to find yourself an honest lawyer.
If you are articulate enough in your request and avoid mentioning the term "I got severe depression" when requesting a legal opinion then I'm sure some young lawyer will provide you with some free advice that will do what you most need to do; clarify your situation. You don't appear to know your rights but unfortunately, your rights depend largely on where you live and where you come from so rather than asking for advice directly on the internet, you would be better off contacting a lawyer who is au fait with the law in your region.
Irrespective as to your situation regarding rent payments and / or debt to the landlord, a good lawyer will be able to help you more than anybody right now. The citizen's advice bureau may be the only other place where the kind of support you require can be found free of charge, although your situation is complex, by the sound of things, and if you happen also to be a foreign national in your current country of residence then there is little chance they can do anything for you.
I don't know much about Human Rights 'minimum service' by other governments but I know that here in France, a woman in your situation would not have to spend a night on the street as she is protected by law. |

Hi Sara,
First things first, I know you are concerned about your depression and that it is not a trivial thing but I think you need to focus on that as a separate problem. Don't confuse the issues- that only increases the stress IMO. Identify all your problems, then prioritize them.
From what you said I picked up these problems:
* you have depression
* you are being evicted
* you need to see your family
* you keep focusing on booking a flight
* you just had a traumatic child birth
Only you can tell me which of these problems is the highest priority for you to resolve but to me it seems like being evicted would be at the top of the list. ESPECIALLY if you just had a child. Your child is going to count on you for support through its entire life. Some of those moments will be stressful but how you manage stress will make a huge difference in what happens and exactly how difficult it is.
I don't know if it's worth looking at the CAUSE of your eviction problem since you are being forced into finding a different solution for housing. I would say that you should focus on that, and only that, until you have a solution.
Be calm, realize that life IS going to go on, and that you simply need to figure something out. Find a place to live, start planning the move, and see who you can get to help you. This may sound harsh but Sara, you don't have TIME to be depressed right now. You have a newborn baby and you need to move... ugh, there is no time for pity parties.
I just went through a major change in my life, which included a few things that I was reluctant to accept, but moving was also a part of it. Two months in and I am EXHAUSTED. I am just now getting back to "turning on the computer," and I am a total computer geek.
If you feel the depression is a more important problem to deal with than your housing then I strongly suggest you consider having someone else take care of your child or consider giving it up for adoption. You must take the baby's well being into consideration here and do what is best for him/her.
As far as the childbirth is concerned, it's over. As far as seeing your family is concerned, well, that will happen again one day! You just need to be patient. Just remind yourself that it WILL happen. I know some people are very short on patience and I'm not exactly sure what to give you for advice other than letting you know that time goes by far too fast to begin with- there's little need to stress over waiting for that to occur (unless you're in prison or something).
As far as booking the flight is concerned, well, maybe you SHOULD book a flight. Book it months in advance. Schedule it out far enough that you think you will be done moving beforehand. That way you have a date to look forward to. Maybe Christmas? It's not really that long away and this gives you the time you need to take care of things at home. Knowing WHEN you will get to see your family might end up helping. Every night you can go to bed knowing that the next day will be one day closer.
But eviction.. that's pretty serious. Perhaps you should just consider moving back in with your family, especially if you have a newborn child with you...
Lots to think about.
The depression is something you will need to learn to manage and live with. Seek professional help, consider medication but don't be too willing to just start taking it without doing your research. I thought about it before but after spending a few hours on the internet I changed my mind.
Good luck.
D
