00:00You've got to pay rent. Don't you get evicted?
00:02You can't take that stuff from me! No, that's my mum's. You can't take that.
00:06What? What? Not you again?
00:08Lucy.
00:09Stop, stop harassing me.
00:10This is the seventh time I think this month I've been round.
00:13Now, last night, I had a call again from the neighbours saying that you've been partying
00:17all night long. They're sick and smashed bottles and all sorts.
00:22I'm not, you think it's funny?
00:24She's about to face some serious consequences.
00:26That I've still not received any rent for the past two months.
00:30You're a liar and you're a freeloader.
00:32You're the only one that I've got trouble with.
00:34You and your skanky mates every single week.
00:37You keep coming around here. You're a bit for free, aren't you?
00:39Why do you keep coming to my house to me?
00:41That's a bit weird, isn't it?
00:42You're a bit obsessed. I mean, that's actually the issue here.
00:45Three months into it, you said you'd lost your job.
00:48You said you was going through a hard time.
00:49Yeah, I was going through a hard time.
00:50Yeah, and I gave you a month's grace period.
00:53I can't just keep on giving you free rent every single month.
00:57She wasn't listening, so he had to take drastic measures.
01:00Anyone who knows me knows I do not take pleasure in this.
01:03She hasn't paid rent in two months now.
01:06I think it's coming on to the third month I've visited around the house.
01:09And not only that, not only is she not paying the rent,
01:11I'm getting phone calls from the police saying that there's disturbances at my property.
01:16The place is an absolute pigsty.
01:19The garden was brand new, but she was destroying it with litter.
01:23It looks horrible out there now.
01:25I went around the other week and the door was just left wide open.
01:28She was upstairs with all her mates doing God knows what.
01:31I've got no other option now other than to evict her.
01:35Yeah, I look like the bad guy.
01:37But at the end of the day, why should I be paying for a freeloader's rent?
01:41Honestly, I really don't get it.
01:43The next day, he called out the bailiffs to move her belongings out of the house.
01:47Unfortunately, we're going to be taking some of her stuff to actually cover the cost of the rent
01:51and also going to be evicting her.
01:53So I'm only recording this just to make sure that, you know, everyone knows and sees what goes on.
01:59Lucy, can we get it?
02:00Lucy.
02:00No.
02:01Lucy, we had a conversation last night, okay,
02:03that you had until midnight to pay me the rent that you owed me.
02:08Otherwise, I'd be coming today with the bailiffs to remove the cost of the rent,
02:14which is thousands and thousands of pounds, and also to evict him.
02:18It's not illegal, Lucy.
02:19I've been through every single point of law.
02:22I'm going to hand it all over to him.
02:23No, you can't.
02:23You can't do this.
02:24My name's Jason.
02:26I've got a high court eviction notice.
02:27This is, this is, this feels illegal.
02:30I can't believe you're doing this.
02:31Bailiffs are supposed to send a seven-day notice beforehand.
02:34No, that's my money's, you can't take that, you can't, you can't take my things away from me.
02:40Lucy, there's thousands of pounds worth of outstanding, outstanding rent.
02:44I paid you rent, I paid you bills.
02:45Oh, we're going around in circles, we're not.
02:48So what we've got to do now is we've got to take some of your stuff to actually get to
02:51the point of rent.
02:52After this, we'll have a discussion, but unfortunately, in the minute, I'm going to have to evict you.
02:56I've not got the time.
02:57This is crazy.
02:58I can't believe you're actually doing this to me.
03:00Like, I can't.
03:01Unfortunately, this is what happens when you refuse to pay your rent.
