Paul Shamplina Co Director and Founder of Landlord Action was followed
by the BBC cameras, in the making War At the Door, which ran every
Thursday on BBC 1 from 26th May 2005, at 8.30pm, for eight weeks.
Landlord Action was featured in three programmes out of the series.
Episode 2
Thursday 2nd June
Paul is seen attending at a property in London, SW1 and Serving Notice
on the occupants. But the nightmare for the Landlord Shelia Keagan, is
that when she rented her flat, it was to a couple, who paid 6 months in
advance. The tenants did the unthinkable and sub let
the 2 bedroom flats to 18 students, and moved in 18 bunk beds into the
property. Neighbours and the Freeholders made numerous complaints to the
Landlord. After Paul served the notice, he contacted the original
tenants by phone and persuaded the tenant to remove the sub tenants,
seven days later Paul is seen attending the property and meeting the
tenant and changing the locks.
Episode 5
Thursday 23rd June 2005
In this episode, Paul attends an eviction on behalf of the landlord. The
tenant had already left by the time, the bailiffs and the locksmiths
turned up. The landlord Mr Ozbay was encouraged to issue possession
proceedings through Landlord Action, as the tenant wanted to be re-housed by
the council, which unfortunately is way to common. Thankfully the
property was left in a good condition.
Episode 8
Thursday 14th July
The last episode we appear in, we meet the client Mr Pervez, at court,
he is very anxious, he is owed several thousand pounds, and he knows the
tenants have been inviting other people to stay in his property, and
knows also that its condition is very poor. Once we obtain the
possession order Mr Pervez has to wait frustratingly for a bailiff
eviction date from the court. On the eviction all the parties attend,
and Mr Pervez has the shock of his life, when he walks into his property,
which is his pension, it's ruined.
Landlord Action are currently filming a Second series of War at The
Door, which will be shown next year.
