Hi I don't really understand it myself if I'm honest....
She booked and stayed in a room in a shared house, then asked to stay on for two further weeks, which she paid for, no issues.
Then on date she said she was leaving I arrived at property to fine her in the room,she then said I had it wrong and we agreed a longer term (not true and first red flag). I thought this odd but rent is rent and I would rather a occupied room than empty.
After this she never answered her calls or texts and was never around when I knocked on her door.
I kept try her door with no answer,then last Saturday she answered her her door when I said I'd come for the rent she randomly changed the subject to her having a stalker and her friend being held at customs and other random off topic subjects.
As I felt uncomfortable with her tone and her rapid mood changes I said it was probs best she moved on if she didn't have money to pay the rent and then I left.
Then I got a WhatsApp message stating my poor financial situation(not true), my home address(this was worrying) and how she had access to council CCTV (not unless she works for the police) and that I had never even been to the property to ask for the rent( my CCTV proves different), I employed an ilegal cleaner( I don't), companies I own and who works for them (not me), if i entered my property it would be trespassing (I disagree with that) and the council had been to the property and if I changed locks it would an illegal eviction.
I took this straight to police station,they weren't interested as civil matter.
Next I spoke to solicitor who said as she had no AST, so no section 21 could be issued and only option was a section 8 and take her to court and to avoid all contact as it's a very grey area.
Thanks
