I went to one of my rental properties today. Work, before anyone asks. The tenant should have left over 3 weeks ago, court order to this effect. Tenant informed the council she had left, they sent me the council tax bill. My visit was to hand deliver a notice to enter to inspect the property the following day. If it was empty I'd then decide whether to move in myself or board it up, as I'm concerned about security. Got there, big 4x4 with dark windows, drug dealer style, parked outside. All curtains closed, I took a picture as I delivered the notice. There was a woman across the street so went for a friendly chat. She told me they were 'bad people' and terrorise the street. They were still living there, she saw them going out in the druggie car this morning. A neighbour complained about noise from a party, apparently the tenant's live in boyfriend went round, put a gun to his head and threatened to blow his brains out if he reported them again. So, while I have to wait until the bailiffs start working again before I can be rid of these odious people, who aren't paying any rent, at least I can sleep comfortably in the knowledge that my property is protected by significant firepower, should law and order be lacking in the near future. I did consider shopping him to the police anonymously or even reporting a fictitious serious child abuse incident (they have 2 kids) but my craving for some kind of justice or revenge was mellowed by the thought of the firepower within the house, and that he might put 2 and 2 together. And perhaps, being "working" people, they won't bother stripping the place and selling everything. In a previous life I brushed past a few people who match your description and they were all house proud possession lovers and thought of themselves as businessmen. No I wasn't a drug dealer! Every cloud...

Why didn't you just let the air out of the tyres? And have a council representative round to film them emerging from the house. Go and get the council to ask the neighbours "is there anyone living in that house" and then tell the council "I told you so." ps - how about tipping off the Daily Mail? Nah, council not interested, threatened me with legal action if I don't pay. They always believe the poor vulnerable tenants because they are nice people, rather than the nasty landlord.

Thats awful...I do have sympathy.. A family member moved his druggy friends into his rental during a psychotic melt down...I saw the damage, he'd drawn in blood(his) on the walls. He eventually did a runner...I had tried to help but couldn't as I was terrified of his 'friends' It cost.. a lot to sort out ...I did help with the expenses.. The police got involved but it inflamed an already volatile situation I feel sorry for landlords in these situations though sometimes they go after the wrong person...however it sounds as if u know whose responsible and I hope justice is served

Go round to the council offices and insist they go round and knock on the door of that property. Take photos of the car outside. Or do nothing. Great plan, but back in the real world the council will stall with coronavirus and the tenants dude will come round off his head on crack and shoot Ricco.

They will of done that already after Ricco followed Foxy's other bit of advice and nipped round to βlet the air out of their tyresβ!π

The only solution is to go there with more and nastier people than the occupiers and beat them up.

You have to start with basics. Who exactly at the council is claiming Ricco is telling porkies? Ricco could report that twerp to his 'superiors' for starters. You have to attack fire with fire. If the drug dealer has a gun, let the Police know - and if they don't do anything about it, report them to their 'superiors'. Other ideas are available, I suppose. Interested to know the outcome. Perhaps Ricco could have been more 'to hand' with this and stamped it out earlier instead of going on shagathons in Indonesia. Your faith in the authorities is heart warming. Cops are wimps. One day I found 6 policemen in riot gear outside my front door in Bristol acting on a tip off that a man who had held up a post office was armed and in my flat. Eek! They wanted to come in obviously, but they were shitting themselves and when I said I'd let one in but the rest would have to stay outside they agreed! I shut them out apart from poor sod you was sweating, eyes darting all over. Quick look, ignored the big stairs to the other flats and ran for it. My flatmate was growing weed, his entire room was weed 4ft high and the copper was parting the plants focussed on looking for a man with a gun. Flat mate of course ran to the top of the stairs and hid in a wardrobe. The whole episode was like a scene from Withnail... and then...on with the game of backgammon.

Great plan, but back in the real world the council will stall with coronavirus and the tenants dude will come round off his head on crack and shoot Ricco. Very good point, very well made. Back in the old days, before guns and too many protective laws I'd have got the boys round, he would have got a severe kicking and be left homeless. Nowadays, there's nothing I can do but wait, and hope he doesn't take the boiler with him when the bailiffs start working again, and they've cleared their backlog, and they've given him the legally required written notice.

I keep reading the title of the thread and thinking "yes it's ok the postman is still doing his rounds it's not the end of the world".
One does wonder though if all the postmen (and women) suddenly felt a little under the weather and self isolated it could create some issues around delivery effectiveness.

We maybe about to have simular delivery issues. A large part of the team at work have been told they are not allowed to car share. Most of them will not be able to get to work now.
