Did your sister contact the CWO to ask if the RA will now be trasferred to her instead of the tenant as this person is still occupying the property?
She should also send the CWO a copy of the PRTB judgement against the tenant to prove that she is in breach of her tenancy agreement.
Has she contacted the PRTB to inform them that the situation has now escalated? It is the PRTB’s policy to prioritise cases where tenants are not complying with valid notices of termination and are in significant rent arrears. Assuming she is successful at the PRTB adjudication hearing, the PRTB will issue a binding Determination Order. If the tenant does not comply with it, she should contact the PRTB and request that they enforce the Determination Order.
Delgirl thanks for the sound advice - I will certainly urge her now to contact the CWO to see if they can transfer the RA to them directly, at least it will be something!
At the same time a solicitors letter went to the CWO one went to the PRTB to inform them of the situation but no response as yet....
I would only love to go round and give this woman money to get her out of their lives once and for all and have offered the cash to pay her off (50th offer today when my pregnant sister was bawling on the phone to me). But my brother in law would kill me if I did it on the sly - I just know the way he is, he wants to deal with the situation himself through the solicitor and keep my sis out of it as much as he can. They are considering paying her off themselves but are so reluctant because she has been so nasty and such a liar (you should have read her PRTB submission!) that it pains them to give her even more money!
Really appreciate the advice though and I will certainly pass it on!
