UNIT 20 
Announcer : Good morning. This is Nick Swift on Radio Sussex with our usual 
Wednesday morning phone-in. This morning the topic is you and the 
law, and with us in the studio is our resident solicitor, Mr Charles 
Andrews. 
Charles : Good morning. 
Announcer : Mr Andrews has been looking at some of the letters sent in by our 
listeners and is now ready to give us the benefit of his professional 
advice. And the first caller, waiting expectantly on the line is Mr 
Stephen Lawson from West Denham. Stephen, can you hear me? 
Stephen : Yes, yes I can. Good morning, Mr Andrews. 
Charles : Good morning Mr Lawson. Yes, your problem is a very common one, 
I'm afraid and in order to decide whether you're a protected tenant or 
not, legally, I mean, I'd like to ask you a few questions. 
Stephen : Yeah, yeah, of course. 
Charles : Now firstly, what kind of agreement do you have, if you don't mind 
my asking? 
Stephen : Well, we haven't signed anything, if that's what you mean -er, we've 
got a rent book and we pay rent every month. 
Charles : Ah, you do have a rent book, and you pay every month. Does the 
landlord live on the premises? 
Stephen : No, no, in fact we hardly ever see him, he lives in another part of the 
country. 
Charles : So he doesn't provide any services for you - by that I mean, breakfast, 
linen, that kind of thing? 
Stephen : (laughing) : No, nothing like that - unfortunately. 
Charles : Ah, well, actually it is better for you that he doesn't. Now he's written 
to you formally asking you to leave, I take it? 
 76
 77
Stephen : No, no, he just keeps phoning up and keeping on at us - it's really 
getting us down. 
Charles : Yes, quite so. Well a couple of things here, Firstly, he must inform 
you in writing, or else it's not legal. And after that, since you pay 
monthly he's got to give you a month before you leave anyway. Now 
secondly, he's not allowed to keep pestering you like this until he has 
got a court order for possession - you could sue him for harassment. 
Stephen : Oh, I see, that's interesting to know. 
Charles : Now do you happen to know his reasons for wanting to regain 
possession of the house? 
Stephen : No, we assumed he wanted to sell or something, but... 
Charles : Yes, because if he needs it for himself or a member of his family then I'm 
afraid you've got problems. Otherwise it seems to me that you've 
probably got a pretty good chance of staying put, at least for a year or 
so. 
Stephen : That would be wonderful, because we leave college then, anyway. 
Charles : But er, I have to say that this whole issue is so complex that you'd be 
better off going and speaking a solicitor in more detail. We haven't 
got time in this phone call to cover everything, I'm afraid. 
Stephen : OK, well thanks very much. 
Charles : And remember if you're a student you are protected by Legal Aid, 
which means you don't have to pay the fees yourself. 
Stephen : Great! Thanks again. 
Announcer : I'm sure Stephen is much more optimistic already. Next on the line is 
Mrs Mary Peters from Townley and she has a problem with a jacket 
she wants to return to the shop. 
Mary : Hello. 
Charles : Hello Mrs Peters. Yes, I think your case may be a little more simple. The 
main question is, was there anything wrong with the jacket at all, was it 
faulty in any way? 
Mary : No, it was just too small - it was my mistake. 
Charles : Ah yes, because in that case I'm afraid they're right, they are not 
legally obliged to give you your money back or even exchange on 
sales item. However, if the goods are faulty in any way then they 
must, sale or no sale. 
Mary : So there's nothing I can do? 
Charles : I'm afraid not Mrs Peters. Actually, I think you were unfortunate. 
Most big department stores would at least have given you a credit 
note as long as you had a receipt and had returned the item fairly 
soon after the purchase. It's not worth having bad customer relations, 
you see. 
Mary : No, this was quite a small shop. Oh well, not to worry. Thanks anyway 
for your time - I'll know next time, won't I? 
Charles : Yes, you certainly will.
