Spoken the CAYSH Again.

And as you would expect it's just lies, lies, lies.

In summary the guy, Charlie was trying to push on me the idea that they've served a section 21 of the 1996 Housing Act notice on the residents. This notice takes two months to come into force and does not automatically result in eviction. The general hope there was that I would be so overwhelmed at his in depth knowledge of housing law that I would leave him alone. Instead I pointed out the fact that he could simply file for an eviction and have it granted with 28 days. Under pressure he confessed that they don't want to do this because it will cost them money for court hearings and possibly a officer of the court (bailiff). Instead they're hoping to intimidate the residents into leaving of their own accord.

Although the court and bailiff route will cost them about £900 this is not the entire reason they are trying to avoid it. The main reason is that if they go down that route it poses the question of whether or not CAYSH have met their legal obligations towards their clients. Obviously they haven't so if the residents are prepared to stand firm they could well find themselves being rewarded for being evicted.

We also discussed the professional conduct of lack thereof of the security firm that is being paid to protect the property. Although Charlie promise to give me a full written report into their conduct by Monday July 19th he flatly refused to give me the name of the company his organisation is paying to trespass on my property.

Anyway he has promised to call me back tomorrow to tell me the date that the section 21 notice was served and the date it will expire. By that point he will also have realised that second date is the date they will be seeking an emergency court hearing to grant an emergency possession order on the property giving the residents 24-hours notice to vacate. As they've already had 56 days notice that's not too harsh even if it will be very expensive for CAYSH.
