The Law's an Ass
BBC NEWS | England | Kent | Rapist sues landlady from prison
A hairdresser has said she hopes to appeal after a convicted rapist sued her from jail when she cleared out the flat he rented above one of her salons. Errrrrrmmmmmmmmmm.........the law goes mad again!!!! :eek: |
Re: The Law's an Ass
Says in the report that she should have sought legal advice as laws are in place to stop landlords taking hasty action.
If your tenant gets a life sentence for a crime it can hardly be considered hasty to make other arrangements regarding the property you are renting them. She even put his stuff into storage an was forking out 60 brick a month for the privilege ( wonder how long she was thinking of keeping that up ) I would have just ordered a skip and dumped the lot in. Aye, the Law is an Ass :( |

If he wasn't a rapist and he had simply gone on business for a few months it would be seen as right. He's paying the rent and she has no right to terminate the contract unless he breaches it, and nothing there suggests he has. Hate to say it, but seen as I am more inclined to think this way than the ordinary newspaper reader I will say it anyway, and that isn't the law being an ass at all. |
Re: The Law's an Ass
Again the law helps the guilty n humps the innocent!!!! When he went down he should have lost all his rights.

God, why didn't I think of that? She should have stuck to the law herself and consulted a solicitor before taking it upon herself to bag up someone's belongings. I'm sure she could have rang the police to report him missing and have found out where he was, and then proceeded rather than assuming he wasn't coming back. I would like to think I would show concern about someone just not being around for so long even if their rent was being paid to me. A lot of rent is just paid by direct debit these days, for all she knew he could have been dead somewhere. |

Re: The Law's an Ass
So he sues and say he wins ok; his victim then sues him; she wins and gets the money he won from suing his landlady. Who loses then? When he comes out he would have to leave the area any. The moral of the mess should be to consult an expert when in a situation that mirrors this one.
Then again I am a guy so what do I know. |

Re: The Law's an Ass
There is nothing saying he was or wasn't paying his rent, but it sounds like he certainly wasn't paying his gas and electric bills. Was she supposed to pay those for him? She didn't chuck his belongings away. He can have those back when he comes out of jail. Perhaps she should send him the bill for storage which she has been paying at a rate of £60 per month.
