What is Ejectment?
Introduction Ejectment is a common law term for civil action to recover the possession of or title to land. It replaced the old real actions and the various possessory assizes (denoting county-based pleas to local sittings of the courts) where boundary disputes often featured. Though still used in some places, the term is now obsolete in many common law jurisdictions, in which possession and…
...the idea of landlord in Britain is unlikely to summon an image of a faceless organisation or distant ghoul. Given the one-in-twenty-six-people statistic, the fact is that almost all of us know someone who is a landlord, or who is closely related to one. […] This social intimacy affects societal attitudes towards landlords as a class. It tempers the sense of class conflict and disguises the extractive and exploitative nature of landlordism. It is difficult to imagine a serious project of decommodification [...] when so many people’s perception of the average landlord is that they are just someone’s aunt.
– Nick Bano, Against Landlords (2024)
In light of Recent Events, hey fellow Brits and especially student renters and people paying bills inclusive rent— I'm a tenants' rights activist based in England. We have a £400 tax rebate coming up starting in October (£66-67pm October to March). It's a direct offset of your energy bills. The .gov website specifically mentions you.
The wording is a bit vague on the site so I really need to stress that if you are paying bills inclusive rent you are still paying your bills. There is NO acceptable reason for your landlord to claim ANY percentage of that monthly rebate. Please look into your local tenants' union, see what they are doing, alert them to the situation.
The rebate money is YOURS. It should NOT go to someone affluent enough that they can afford an extra house, in most cases houses. We're about to watch the government spend millions of £s on some 96 year old woman's funeral while millions of us freeze and starve. That's fucking unacceptable. Claim your fucking money from your landlord and become a huge fucking problem if they don't hand it over immediately.
The province announced amendments intended to protect people from bad-faith evictions, lengthy rental disputes and rent increases when a chi
These proposed changes would have prevented my being evicted in callously bad faith a year ago. A twelve year tenancy terminated to move the landlord's kid in...and it turned out they didn't even need my flat after all.
Apparently I'm still carrying around some bitterness...
I am unbelievably lucky I ended up on my feet, but that was due to the support of friends and family. And I am now living much farther away from them and from work, and above my means, because there isn't anywhere within range, geographically or financially.
My landlord wanted to put the rent up 35% despite cap - BBC News
Catherine Sheldon says she is now having to leave the property, with nowhere else to go that she can afford.
"In Scotland, as the impact of cost of living rises such as energy prices began to bite last year, the Scottish government announced a temporary freeze on rent rises.
In April this changed to a 3% cap on increases.
However, campaigners have warned the "joint tenancy loophole" means that, in many flat-shares, landlords are free to increase the rent by as much as they want when one person leaves.
This is because the emergency legislation only applies to tenancies, rather than properties."
Just watched a history video on YouTube in which the vlogger is trying to explain why Medieval serfs weren’t slaves and perhaps inadvertantly makes the point that modern tennants have very similar rights to Medieval serfs in a lot of ways- i.e. very few.
