Property Access Rights

I always thought it was traditional to give the ring back if the engagement was called off, but as has been said, she's under no obligation to do that.

As for access, yes you can access it anytime as technically and legally you are still a tenant, even if you're not actually living in the property.
 
watch judge judy on ITV2 you'll gain loads of experience.

As for the move I would try to do that when she's out of the house. Not telling what stories she might concoct if you force your way in when she's there.

I would also take a work mate or friend with me just incase she get's nasty afterwards.

Fortunately (or unfortunately) it contains rather a significant portion of platinum and was made by a very well known designer who all of a sudden is doing particularly well. I have been told that it probably is worth a fair chunk of wonga, particularly as the price of platinum was silly the last time I looked.


even if it weighed half an ounce then that would only be £300 ish of platinum
 
Your lucky - when I split with my fiance, she kept my Slim PS2, all my games, all my clothes, my PC, shoes, books, everything! And the bloody ring, and I'd already paid for the bloody wedding.

Though I'm pleased to say, she's put on loads of weight and has possibly the worst boyfriend in the world. Though she sold some of my stuff and bought a car.

As revenge I'v been regularly filling up exotic cars at the petrol station she manages with my nice fit gf in the passenger seat. For some reason this ****** her off massively.

On topic though, speak to her friends?
 
**** that, ex or not, if people start becoming unreasonable they maybe it's time you also start becoming a bit unreasonable. If there's something in the flat (that YOU are renting because YOUR name is on the tenancy agreement!!!) you either go and take it. If she wants to make life difficult for you, then maybe you should feed her some of her own ******** and tell her if she don't give your stuff back you'll speak to the landlord to tell him you have taken the keys and denying you access....

Technically you're renting the flat. She has no right living there, even. You can take it up with the LL in the worst case.

Normally if an "engaged" girlfriend wants to split up, she gives the engagement ring back, as a token of her action. I guess you'r ex is aware of the price-tag eh?

Sounds to me she's taking the mick out of you mate. Do you still love her or something?
 
You are a bloody nice bloke to keep paying half the rent and not be there at all considering she was the one being an ****. Why!? I guess you were tied into the contract...

Hmmm...get someone from the lettings agency to let you in and get your stuff. That way you have a witness if she is there and is going to be a **** to you.

She could go to the police and make up a list of things he "stole" whilst there even if he didnt! With no witness its her word against his, etc.

Probably best to make sure you go with the estate agent and get them to let you in. Maybe even go to the local police station and talk to them about it as im sure one of them could go with you to be a "witness".

Last thing you need is to get a locksmith involved then having the police round the next day saying you'd stolen stuff from the house!

How can you steal stuff from your own place?

Dumbest thing I've read in a loooong while. I live in a rented house with other people. If one of them say took my PC does that mean it isnt theft just because they pay rent on the place too? :rolleyes:

She could just as easily say her laptop, etc was stolen and say the OP stole it when he moved his stuff out... He would have to prove he didnt nick a load of her stuff when he comes for his stuff

When it comes to giving things back, especially expensive items, women are usually far from traditional.

either that or your intelligence is letting you down... bigtime! :D

They obviously have their own separate bedroom with key, right? If someone is making false accusation, it makes a difference if it's actually their place or not, don't you think ?

Ehmm... shouldn't it be the other way around, innocent until proven guilty?

Break in, stab her and hack her to pieces, use plastic bags and bury in backyard. Easiest and probably the best way to end this whole mess. Women tick me off sometimes :D

Thought crossed my mind, although would probably get less of a prison sentence for just breaking and entering.

Was planning on speaking to the estate agent tomorrow morning and going round on Saturday with my old man - that way she's at work for definite!

I paid rent for the remainder of the contract because it was a six month short hold tenancy agreement with both of us on the lease. It was the only way I could get out of the place without being in breach of the contract, although with hindsight it would have perhaps been nice to see her living on the street in a box...

At the end of the day, I still love her (at least at the moment) and more worryingly, have to work with her, so I tried to make this as amicable as possible, for both our sakes. She however seems to want to make an issue out of everything, probably cos she's now feeling rather bitter.

Back on point, it would seem that the general concensus is that I have a right of access. Will print off this thread (edited ;)) and throw it on the estate agent's desk if they get arsey!

You have to do it three times before they'll send you to prison though :)

If I ask nicely they may even give me a week or 2 in the Bahamas to "reflect on my crimes" :D
 
Who ended it and why? Also are you sure you want to get your old man involved? Maybe better to take a close friend with you?

I eneded it because it wasn't working and wasn't going to work - and the old man, just cos he's down here this weekend and I couldn't leave him at home!

I have no nefarious motives about nicking stuff, all I want is the boxes and speakers, and gilt mirror etc., she's going to just "leave" outside for me on Sunday, even though I can't get there on Sunday.
 
Update - went round to the house and spoke to the next door neighbour who was happy for me to jump over the fence from his property. So my brother jumped the fence, opened the outhouse door (not locked) and passed all my stuff over to me, who loaded the car. Using my bro was probably the master stroke, since I didn't actually enter the property! "No darling, I didn't go into your property" :D

On speaking to the neighbour the following day when I went round to collect something I'd not been able to carry (leaving it there would have been a recipe for disaster!), apparently she went "ape No Swearing!" and was going to call the Police!!!!!

Needless to say that hasn't happened, but work is rather interesting. She is saying I "broke into her house"... Fortunately, management at work don't really care as long as it doesn't affect our work.

Would have been interesting if she had called the Police, hopefully they would have told her where to get off.

At least I'm finally completely out of there and not reliant on her not trashing my pictures, speakers and kitchen equipment!
