Hi

My partner, ( not married) moved out of our joint
owned home ( I paid all mortgage and deposit) and I pay all the mortgage. We are supposed pay 50% mortgage each however as I am still in property I pay it all in respect of Occupational Rent and will do so until house us sold.

The split is very unfriendly to say the least and I have found out my ex has been coming i to the house while I am at work and going through my things, reading private documents and snooping.

Is there anything I can do legally ? I realise its joint property but she has nothing in the house so no reason to be in there. I just want my privacy and possessions safe.

I could change locks but not sure I should.

Anyone had similar experiences ?

Thanks

As the house is in joint names, she is entitled to enter the property but you have a right to privacy.

Legally you cant change locks but you could add ''extra security '' locks that you ''forgot'' to give her.
