Issued NoT forgot return form

[bipped]

there is no mention of the return form,

Just looked at the return form and it’s to ‘assist the RTB in linking the notice to the relevant tenancy’ so to make their job easier. Thanks OP, it’s good to know that information.

no entitlement to sub-let

Its not a sub-let, tenant still lives there.

Back to this again...my understanding of subletting is taking in paying guests without the consent of the property owner, and without them being named on the lease with the property owner.

Indeed.

This is a house share, not sub let.

Direct quote from RTB website

"Having a flatmate or housemate living at the property with you is not seen as subletting. This is because a flatmate shares the property and facilities with the tenant."

It must be a disability claim so that she is taking to the WRC. She is disabled, can't use the stairs and you are discriminating against her by taking a case against her for using the sittingroom as a bedroom. She must also be planning on arguing that the sale is a fake one.

Yes it's on grounds of disability and that I refused hap ( I didn't and have the texts to prove it). The claim sent by threshold was sent before she received the NoT- intend to sell.
The letter from threshold arrived to me on the same day as the NoT would have arrived to her and the RTB.

May be a seniority issue on my behalf.

I don't know how to link it but if you go to the 'notice of termination guide' on rtb website, scroll to the very bottom then you'll see it

I used the form but only because I read about it here!

Op I think it’s optional. It says “ask to attach “ form to “assist” . I think they are under water with lumps of paperwork of their own making.

In the end I kept my own copy with receipts and photos of everything. I can produce if needed but let’s be real folks….

… if tenant fights any NoT I suspect it’s 80/20 against the landlord to win. Hope your tenant is honest and genuine and moves out on their own. Crazy situation we are in s as bd no better time to get out!

You will need to be very careful. The issue with the hip seems very convenient to to justify the downstairs bedroom. Has she previously advised of a medical issue affecting mobility? To claim a disability or mobility issue won't be sufficient. If it goes further, she will have to prove she has these to claim discrimination on these grounds.

Definitely, the ES1 form requires a response within a month, but I will need solicitor to help with that. She first mentioned the hip about 3 years ago, she was still working then but is on disability now. Don't want to say too much more about it will see how it plays out.
Appreciate everyone's advice
