According to the other residents,the landlord's in Ibiza and "doesn't give a shoot".

Hope you find somewhere else to live!

BeJesus Accy.
You been through a lot of bad luck recently buddy. If the worst comes to the worst ,and you've got no where to go could you sqwat in your existing flat for a few days before you get sorted out. Not ideal but I'm sure the authorities would take a leanent view if you got into trouble for it (especially under the circumstances)

Hope you get sorted quick Accy, good luck

I'm now the last one in the building. I'm waiting for them to come and lock the place up. I'm tempted to refuse to leave. Can they force me out? Anyone know if they can?

They'd have to lock the doors, with you inside.

They'd have to lock the doors, with you inside.

Which they surely wouldn't do?

Chances are they would.

Building nearby got a similar unsafe warning from the fire service. About half a dozen stayed put, with the doors locked from the outside. They were out within two days. No power or water.

It ain't worth it, go when they want you to.

It'll probably be occupied by a fang of squatters in a few days, what's one more?

The fire service have just been round again,taking pics of the "dodgy" fire alarms and non fire proof doors. They said the landlord will have to spend many thousands before he can let people back in.
I have till 7pm then they're locking the building up.
There's cask ale bar directly below me. I wonder how it'll affect their business? Not to mention the hairdresser's next to them.

This does not seem remotely plausible.

You're having us on aren't you?

No bullshit. The council are here now,talking to me about temp' accommodation. 100 PERCENT THE TRUTH!

Fire doors removed, by the owner. Gas & electric meters by-passed, with cables and hoses taking the supply downstairs and from one side of the building to the other. Emptied the same week.

I am now at my former home. It's only till the morning when the council are going to find me some short term accommodation. I was chatting with the environmental health officer tonight. I think some good will come out of this. She was very sympathetic,saying i'll be rehoused in a safer place. She also said they'd help me with my housing benefit claim and my JSA claim. Every cloud has a silver lining.
She also said that the landlord will be responsible for any damage done to our property/belongings while the building is locked up. Meaning that if someone breaks in and robs or does some damage. we can expect the landlord to pay for it.

I see a book deal. "It Shouldn't Happen to an Accy". Worked for James Herriot. Are you in touch with any publishers yet ?
