The 12 month lease we had on our flat in Landan expired at the end of last month. We havent signed a new lease (or even received one or anything at all for that matter) and on the 1st July emailed a scan copy over to the receiver of the property to see we would be leaving at the end of July.
Now I’m presuming all this is ok but also I’m starting to prepare for a battle. Something like Sun Tzu states about times of calm - cant remember the quote now but I have a feeling its going to go nuclear. Firstly our landlord went bust during our tenancy and the property was taken over by a receiver who we paid the rent to. Initially we paid a huge deposit to the landlord’s agent. Our deposit is protected in some scheme so hopefully we will get it back. We need a letter from the receiver to the original agent to free up this deposit. This is what I see as being the tricky part.
Our contact at the receivers place isnt returning my calls and hasnt responded to that email (containing our notice) yet either.

Find some young wan from Essex to shack up with for a while, you’ll not be long getting the equivalent of your deposit back
The receiver likely has far bigger things to worry about than your deposit. I would suggest you sit tight, pay no more rent and enjoy the extra cash until they fuck you out. Once you have told them you want to move out no way can they ask you for backdated rents
A friend in need is a friend indeed, aint that right Tom?
The flat is for sale aswell but the receiver doesnt know about it. Sale agent told us it was sold but there was a couple of loose ends to tie up. Receivers claim to know nothing about any sale. Surely its in their interests that the property is sold as it will pay off the mortgage?
Would surprise me if the place is for sale and receiver doesn’t know about it. The receiver basically just steps into the shoes of the directors of the company. They have a duty of care to make the best decision for the co, not the creditors, so selling the apt is only an option if they think it is a fair offer and they won’t be able to do any better out of it.
Unless you want to leave badly I’d sit tight and pay no more rent

time for the best garage sale london has ever seen…take every last bit of furniture thats not nailed down and sell it to the neighbours…get in touch with the local pikeys and arrange a cash deal for the fireplace…there’s your deposit + interest back…time for new beginnings…
Let’s say you live in a foreign country and owe a few quid to a central body or two, lets say a county council and electricity supplier. Lets say you move into a new property unbeknownest to them. You are renting this property from someone cash in hand and there is no legal documentation tying you to this new property, for all anyone is concerned you have vanished/left the country. Could these people you owe money to get lets say your national security number and contact your place of work telling them to get in touch with you about unpaid bills you owe? Lets say you get away without paying these bills for another while and eventually move back to Ireland. If these people had your address in Ireland, could they contact you and would you legally be required to pay these bills, even though they are in another European country? This is all purely conjecture…
