Landlord Conduct

[john1955]

Hi I run a pool league in Hull and wanted other pool league views on my dilemma.
I have a player who is in dispute with a landlord whom accuses him of messing with his table in that he picked one end up and dropped it hard breaking a leg on it which he vehemently denies.

He claims the landlord was very rude towards him and he felt threatened. He wants the league to send the landlord a warning letter about his rude and threatening behaviour.

I have been on legal sites and also government licensing sites and they all say that we have no recourse on a landlords behaviour except for writing to the local licensing magistrates. You can only complain about the measures and food.

My view is that if we send any warning letter sent would aggravate matters and the landlord will just tell the team to leave. His prerogative as he can refuse anyone service without reason. The other caviar is that they all talk to one another and he will just tell the others what the team is like and you’ll get refusals everywhere.

What is the view of some of you.

Thank you.

John

My persoanl view would be that this is nothing to do with the pool league. If a person is in dispute with a Landlord in this manner then he needs to go to the Police.

I agree, the dispute sounds like a personal issue between the individual and the landlord. Unless an official from the league witnessed the incident and wants to try and assist in resolving the dispute, the league should keep well alone.
