Non-profit landlord Cedar Care Homes has served all ten residents on on Lake House Close in Weaverham, Cheshire with 'no fault' eviction notices, including an 88-year-old man.

Residents of Lake House Close have been given two months to leave their homes. Do YOU know more about this? Get in touch ryan.prosser@mailonline.co.ukResidents as old as 88 have been given two months to leave their homes with the care company that owns the properties reportedly looking to instead use them as temporary housing for the homeless.

A single parent who lost her fiancé, the father of their three-year-old child, is also affected by the plan. His son, Jonathan, 63, said: 'I was there when the letter came through and - bearing in mind his health conditions - I wasn't prepared to tell him at the time. In a letter to local MP Mike Amesbury, the firm says it discovered the site was 'not being used for its intended purpose' of social and supported housing by the previous provider.It said it requested referral forms be filled out for submission to Cheshire West and Chester Council for retention of those residents 'under the supported housing provision'.

Letting agent Next Move 4 U said the landlord 'has the right to have his property back,' and that there was 'no threat' in the Section 21 notice sent to residents. 'While Section 21 notices are currently lawful, they are totally unethical and inhuman. The opposition's position is within the first 100 days of Government; we will introduce legislation to abolish no fault evictions.'

However, the accompanying letter from the agent includes the line: 'Failure to comply with this notice will result in a possession order being issued and finally we may have to instruct bailiffs.' 'We do understand the vulnerability of quite a few of the people, but I'm not the old owner or the new landlord, we just run a letting agency in Worsley putting tenants in properties and selling properties.

She added: 'I think we knew there were going to be repercussions from this, and we'll just follow it through.' 'These properties also require extensive works. I would suggest in the region of £35,000 a property. A couple of the properties are terrible places that have been let go to neglect, and you can't do the work required while people are in there.'
