Even if he can't legally do that, if he wants a tenant out, he'll find another way to do it. You buy a house, you make your own rules. You rent someone elses (and lets face it, mortgages are renting from wealthier and less interested landlords, aren't they...) and you have to abide.
Get the shitters off the drive and say sorry to the landlord. |

1. Not your drive, his drive. You are just hiring it.
2. Driveway refers to vehicles that are driveable, clue is in the name. Not for storing smashed up wrecks dumped there
for years on end. How is that any different from leaving piles of rubbish and smashed furniture there? If you were one of
my tenants I'd be just as unimpressed tbh and would seek to prevent it continuing to be there. The working cars I would
have no problem with, but with all the other garbage you have made a Steptoe and Son scrapyard. It's not on.
My own tenancy agreements contain the following clause.
Quote: | 12. Not to do or allow to be done anything which may be or become a nuisance or annoyance to the Landlord or to the occupiers of adjoining properties. |
If I had to bet on it, your landlord has had complaints about your rubbish in the front garden.
3. Ultimately you're going to lose this battle. One way or another. If you don't like having to follow rules, then
buy your own place. If that's not an option then suck it up, dump the "project" that lets be honest will never see
completion and keep having somewhere to live. It's pretty much that simple. I'd bet the house wouldn't be empty for
long. Re-letting is easy, there is a housing shortage. You'd do well to remember that. Plus by showing you a red card the
landlord might get a new tenant who's behaviour doesn't have his phone ringing with complaints. I wouldn't want that
hassle and neither does your landlord. I don't use letting agents myself so have spent some time talking to all of the
neighbours of my rental places, They all have my phone number and me theirs so if they have concerns about what
my tenants are up to I am happy for them to give me a call directly so I can look into it. I can also call them if I need
a little inside information about the comings and goings at my houses. With my sticky tenants I only visit the property
annually to inspect while I attend gas safety checks or other maintenance that requires a third party on the
premises, mainly this is so I don't get the old "I left £40 on the shelf and your tradesman swiped it" scenario.
Safer for tenant and tradesman, quieter life for me.
I have spent a LOT of money on my properties, they aren't mortgaged and represent my retirement fund. Of course I will
be protective of them and concerned if my tenants are playing up and causing problems. In my shoes you would be too. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

At the end of the day, it's his house, not yours. If he doesn't want cars parked on his garden/makeshift driveway, then if you don't do what he says, I'm sure he'll find a legitimate way of removing you from his house.
I suspect it will be a neighbour who's been bending his ear over the perceived scrapyard in front of his house. ____________________ TZR250 2MA road, TZR250 1KT road, TZR250 2MA race, TDR250, YZF-750R Boost colours.

Nuh-uh, we've been over this already.
If I the owner decide to build a wall across the front of my garden and gravel drive, effectively
denying you any access to said drive, have a guess how much say you have in that decision.

Ah, the old good cop bad cop routine. They still happily take their 10-15% of the rent each month though, don't they? Funny that!
That's exactly the technique I use to buy expensive things like houses and cars a bit cheaper. I play the role of the
friendly, amiable salt of the earth, cheeky but friendly Londoner type in a negotiation. Mrs grr plays the poe faced
bean counter wife who "Will not go over that price while ever her arse point south mate, help me out here..." A tactic
that over the years has saved us many thousands of pounds.
Sounds like that place is turning over about £320 a month after the friendly agent takes their cut. If there's a
mortgage to pay out of the remainder then the nasty evil owner isn't getting much out of it really. Personally I
don't trust agents to be accountable, honest, competent or pro active. After all they are related to estate agents
and therefore experts at blowing smoke up peoples arses and always having an answer or excuse. I'd never use one. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

Ever considered that she just wants to cash out and flog the place? You antagonising her will just accelerate that decision.
Lets say the place is worth 100k. That's about 310 months or 25 years worth of rent with zero the tenant related
hassle or requirement to keep the place spick and span. Just saying.
