yeh for sure,, the desk seargent can issue a section 18 search warrent,, doesent need to be done by the court,, but with landlors permission they may not even need the warrent, BUT if the landlord didnt foollow the rules laid out in the tennancy agreemant and entered without permisison or prior notice then the search was unjustified and illigal FUK THEM!! uve got your poxy caution mate id go for the throat no shit!!!! and fuk the landlord too he cant throw u out like that,,, id go see citizens advice FAST and get a solilcitor onto it getting a injuctions to stop u getting ivited ,, fuk with him mate the landlords just nailed u and fuking u on the bond,, get a solicitr or failing antyhign else MAKE SURE he has to ay out of the arse to get the house bak upto scratch,,boilers are expensive to replace,,FOR instancde:) and walla are expensive to plaster

me,, if i was the landlord,, i would have simply sed i want 1 plant out of every crop, and i know nothing about it
A section 18 warrant is only possible if the suspect is under arrest for an indictable offence.

Also does not matter what rules were laid out in the tennancy, by law, he must give 24 hours written notice, the contract can only allow for an extension of this time, say 48 hours notice, if the contract stated 12 hours then the contract would be legally invalid.

TT is it not 24 hours written permission, not notice?

It's no good giving 24 hours written notice if you are on holiday for eg, or it may not be convenient.

Most likely though, it wouldn't alas. Fingerprints. If the tenants fingerprints are over the items, then all evidence points towards the tenant either being the grower, or knowing about the grow and not informing the police.
But if they didn't take any evidence/ dust for prints.

It seems he got a caution purely on the back of 'hearsay' from the landlord.

Notice unfortunately.

Where necessary, landlords can get access to inspect the condition of the property. A convenient time should be agreed with the tenant, or landlords may write to the tenant giving at least 24 hours’ notice.Landlords cannot let themselves into the property without first giving this prior notice. If the tenant refuses to let the landlord in, the landlord cannot force entry unless there is a fire or flood.

If the tenant changes the lock, landlords are not entitled to a key unless it says so in the contract.

So as per your prior post, CHANGE THOSE LOCKS!

Indeed, it always depends on the situation. If they had wished to press charges, then they would have taken evidence, luckily it was just a caution. As i asy, i think it is possibly due to the fear of full prosecution should you try and push the issue in regard to their actions. It could also have been due to not being aware that the landlord did not have permission to enter the building. Who knows.

So based on that....
Regardless of giving 24hours notice, if you say 'no' and have changed the locks there's fuck all the landlord can do about it until you say 'yes'?
Yup, landlord has to then obtain an injunction from the county court. So if you've got plants on the go and an inspection due, fingers crossed you can finish it all up before he can get a country court injunction, but be warned you might then have to pay court costs and whatnot.

I wonder what a court deems as forced entry though. Waiting outside your door so he can jam his foot in it when you open it up. As we know, the saying is never open your door to the police.
