Tenants violent ex

[redwards1]

Can anyone please advise?

My brother in law lives in a property that is split in to two flats. There is a young woman who lives upstairs. This woman's ex partner, comes to the property most nights, and kicks in the shared front door. Before visiting his ex partner this man bangs violently on my brother in laws door and makes threats and intimidates him. The landlady of the property has been advised of this mans behaviour and has advised the young woman to warn this man off, but to no avail.

Does the landlady have a legal responsibility/duty to my brother in law to protect him as a tenant from her other tenants violent ex partner. We are trying to find a legal solution to this issue before it escalates in a pointless violent tit for tat situation.

yes she dose that is the landlords reasonibilty to protect your bother-in-law because if dude dont live there that is a tresspasser she has to do something i say call the police and tell them that she is not doing any thing... i am sorry to hear about that ... i hope this helped

Your BIL should write to his landlord and explain that the other tenant's ex is violating his right of peaceful enjoyment of his unit. Having this happen frequently, the violent nature of the man in question, the property damage, and the banging and threats at his door disturb him and make him fear for his safety at the property. He should document these with dates and times. He should insist that the landlord take steps to ensure his peaceful enjoyment covenant as required by law, and to ensure that this event does not happen again. It is the LL's responsibility to prevent this once informed of it. Your BIL should also be calling the law each time this happens to make a record of it. The LL can use the record of police calls and disturbances to either force the tenant to handle the problem or to evict the other tenant for allowing it to continue. Send the letter by certified mail, return receipt requested and keep a copy.
