looks interesting.. will have to have a proper look in the morning

[mistybear]

That's terrific, but I doubt I'd have the time.

Where's that other site you posted about all the conspiracy theories.... I only managed to see the first one, which was great.

But I can't find it now.

[Clive]

Could it be in THIS thread MB?

[mistybear]

Thanks Clive, but no that isn't the one.
I'm sure you posted it in the last few months. It was a site that had a long list of links to various documentaries on 911, Waco and so on. 
I'll have a proper search when I get the time.
I'm going to the tribunal on thursday, I'm fighting an eviction order and it has been very time consuming, not to mention stressful. So once it's sorted, I'll be able to spend more time here, and doing other normal things.

[Clive]

Yes, I thought I had posted something too but now can't find it!  It's a conspiracy!  Oh I do hope the tribunal goes OK for you MB.  You must be having a tough time at the moment. 

[Simon]

Yes, good luck MB, hope everything goes well.

I just thought that as the rules in Australia are different to ours for evictions MB, I would explain a little for non Aussies on here as I dont want people to think youve been a naughty girl, (well not in that way  ).

Most people can only be evicted in the UK for a gross breach of the terms of their lease agreement, non payment of rent or occassionally for being anti social or an otherwise usuitable tenant.

It appears that under Australian law a landlord can evict you without having to give a valid reason, he/she can just give you a date to leave the premises.
This is what MBs landlord has done, after she asked for some repairs to be done to her leaking roof 

Good luck MB, I am sure we are all backing you to win your case 

[GillE]

What a rotten situation to find yourself in, MB.  I hope you have a successful outcome on Thursday.

Thankyou everyone, it's wonderful to have support when you feel the world's out to get you.

There is a clause in our residential tenancy agreements that gives the landlord power to evict you for "no reason".

It does appear we "aussies" are unique, I was talking to someone from Canada the other day, and he was also shocked that we have such a clause.

CONTINUING AGREEMENT: ?NO GROUNDS?
TERMINATION
If you are on a continuing agreement, the landlord can end the
agreement by giving a 60-day written termination notice
without a reason. However, you can argue in the Tribunal
that you should be allowed to stay because of your special
circumstances e.g. ill health, but this can be difficult to argue.

It is a very long story and goes back a few years and there are other issues and special circumstances due to the historical background of the house. If they persist with the termination notice it could be before the tribunal for some time, but at the moment we are just going for a decision on repairs.

[Simon]

Oh, what a black cloud to be hanging over you, MB.  I do hope things work out in your favour.

[Clive]

Amen to that! 

[sam]

indeed! good luck!

[Lona]

Sorry to hear of your predicament, Misty, hope all goes well for you.

Sock it to them.  Pity I can't be there to shout in your corner. 

[mistybear]

Oh, what a black cloud to be hanging over you, MB.  I do hope things work out in your favour.

I can't remember where I heard this from now, but I was told that this was going to be a bad year. And let me say, so far, it has out done any expectations I might of had.

Lesson one, Do not p**s off your landlord, by questioning their questionable activities, and don't ask for repairs.
