Asking for lodger to leave

So pleased to see that the troublesome individual has been sent packing. Excellent news.

There’s certainly a lesson here for anyone who might be considering taking in a lodger.
A risky thing to do.

Good outcome. Its often useful to have another man on the scene.

I've just found your post again Regina as I wanted to know how you went on. I hope you're feeling better and well done to your nephews for getting rid of the bully.
I wish you well when you move to your new home. xxx

I am so glad you have got it sorted Regina. Now you can take your time recovering and planning your move. Good luck. xx

What a relief Regina, all the best in your new home!

Well done your nephews!!
Cowardly bully..like them all!
This gives you time and space to prepare for your big move.
Wishing you every happiness in your new home.

Goid news, get well soon.

😊

Good outcome, wishing you all the best in your new home xx

I'm so glad to hear this Regina. I hope you enjoy a more relaxed life in your new home.

Great news Regina.

Fab news. Good riddance. Glad everything worked out for you in the end.
Same old same old though, the ones that bully a woman draw the line at treating males with the same level of contempt… funny that!

Yippee !!!

So pleased

Brilliant outcome! Get well soon.

Great news Regina!
Now just get well.

Just seen this last posting of yours. Thank goodness and I am glad you have got it sorted. Thank god for male relatives.

Thank goodness Regina, your plight has been on my mind. I am so glad to hear of the resolution and of your plans for the future.
I wish you many happy times in your new place.

I think if you went to the police and explained your position they would definitely help someone in your position who wants to move to a home to cater for your disability and who is at the moment being bullied by the lodger. I do n ot think they would dare refuse to help in case something happened to you.

Hi sorry to get back late ive been in hospital for 10 days however I had 2 of my nephews staying at mine while in hospital they got rid of him before I got back i won't be getting anymore lodgers but will be moving to a sheltered accommodation in October which will be a blessing.thankyou all for your help and advice very much appreciated it's a Wight lifted off my shoulders xx

There is no need for legal advice or to trouble the CAB. If the lodger pays his ‘rent’ every four weeks that is a perfectly adequate notice period. If he pays weekly it is longer than necessary. How long he might need to get references checked for a new abode is irrelevant. He is a lodger, not a tenant.

personally I think 28 days is too short notice as many new landlords want time to check references.

I would echo the advice to speak to a solicitor or to the CAB

My friend had a man who would not leave. She gave him notice and the police came round on the day to see that he left.

he is a lodger, not a tenant.
OP doesn't need legal advice, she needs support.
contact police.
mention of moving someone else in could be seen as threatening, he may be planning to oust you, by making your life unbearable there, a cuckooing operation.
such things often happen to vulnerable occupiers.

biglouis is right. He needs a punch

Hey, I didnt say punch anyone. That can get you into trouble!

Just having one or two men around can usually do the trick. They dont have to be big but it probably helps.

You just need a few phrases like "Im sure you dont want any trouble but XXX"

"My grandmother has given you notice so we thought you might need a hand packing."
