WHB... so sorry to hear of this happening to you

Four years ago good friends of mine, and whom I rented a flat from eventually, decided that they would sell the flat out from under me. Years of friendship fell away in minutes and they became quite horrid. The local council advised me of my rights, thankfully, and eventually I managed to get a rented flat from them just before I was evicted. It seems some landlords are quite unscrupulous and they tried all sorts until the council warned them of my rights. I was lucky. It was a bad time for me but I am housed far better now than I was then and it has been for the better in my life. I did not feel like then as it was happening.

I hope your forced moved works out to your good too :-)

Karma is never far away. My 'friend', whose flat I had rented, told me how desperately she needed the money as her son had run up terrible debts. It was all lies I later found out. Her girlfriend, in fact, had persuaded her to sell... and within weeks of getting the money for the flat, ran off clearing all the bank accounts out! The last time I saw my former friend she started to tell me how bad her life had been and that she had no option than to do with me what she did. Had she have been honest with me at the time I would have understood. As it happens I found it hard to feel sorry for her. She ended up with far less than I had and have. All I have for her now is pity.

I truly hope things pick up for you and work out well.

Best wishes
