children..

ck100

i moved into a flat bout two years ago. i say flat but its tiny, in that time ive had a child with an ex partner, i see the child every weekend, ive never had a lease and after my child was born i was forced into signing an agreement saying my child would not live in the house, now my landlord is ringing threatning me telling me to go because the child was crying when visiting(for bout an hour only i may add) im by no means the loudest tennant there but can she evict me for having my child visit for a few hours a week?

You are entitled to visitors. You are entitled to make reasonable noise.

On the flip side, fellow residents are entitled to peaceful occupation.

On balance I think the landlord is over-reacting.

tell him to get stuffed...he's over-reacting just a bit.

I had a similar scenario when I rented a few years back, that the landlord had a clause outlined in the rent book that no children were allowed to enter/visit or stay in his premises! if they did and he gave authorisation a fee of £30.00 (Punt!) was payable per day!

It was one of the most bizarre things I ever came across whilst renting and as I didnt have kids at the time I didnt ever have need to challenge it but often wonder how enforceable it was as tentants in other flats openly flouted the 'no kids rule'.

Perhaps someone like Threshold might be able to advise further if that is something legally enforceable.
