notice 4 weeks??

TrickyNiki

You should give the current Landlord 1 month (4 weeks) notice in writing saying you are moving out. You can move out before then but the rent has to be paid for the notice period.

ok fair enough but he said twice he was giving her notice but no letter yet plus he said over the phone in polite words dont phone me again and again said it will be in the post(over the last 3 and a half years my daughter add to get the eviromental health peeps in do ,to tell him to do all the repairs)he is just taking the micky out of my daughter(verbal crap over the phone)

TrickyNiki

I had a landlord like that, he resented me getting enviromental health involved to do repairs, and still wouldnt do the repairs even under duress from enviromental health.

To be quite honest I think your daugher would be best of out of there, the stress and the living conditions (if hes not doing repairs) can not be good for her or her children.

TrickyNiki thank u for reply she is getting out of there even without notice(her nerves are getting so bad)shes found a brilliant LL who at this moment is doing all he can doing up a place for her(its a very good house)he as bent over backwards for her(he said LL LIKE THE ONE SHE AS SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES) plus i as a perent told her to move as soon as poss even without notice

I too found a better place to live!

I know that landlords complain they get a bad reputation due to these individuals, but there really are good landlords out there.

Make sure your daughter follows leaving the house to the letter. This landlord might just try to make things difficult.

I don't know if you saw my post NS but I agree with TrickyNikki. However upset your daughter feels with the landlord, she should do things properly and by the book or she could have more hassle to come.

She should move with her head held high and hopefully to a better landlord but she doesn't want more hassle once she has left. Upping sticks and leaving is not the way to go.

I have offered you advise on how to go about it in my post.

Hi there, I agree with other posters - she should by all means physically move out as soon as she can, but must make sure she pays the contractually obliged amount - when there is any kind of dispute it's SO important to do everything by the book - don't give this sod any reason to give her any more trouble.

I've been in a position (the other way round, but same theory) where I had a lodger who behaved appallingly towards me, was rude, threatening and aggressive and made me feel afraid to come back to my own home, and who left owing me money. As much as I wanted to reply back to her rude communications in an equally offensive style, my friend, who is a solicitor, advised me to keep my cool, rise above it and do everything by the letter, as those people who are the kind to give you trouble are usually the kind who know very well how to give you more trouble. Often when they're rude to you, they're hoping to goad you into getting yourself into more trouble. You mustn't play their game!

In the end, I gave all the correct notice and then took great pleasure in changing the locks and throwing her crap away when I was legally entitled to do so!!

Hope she has better luck with the new LL, old one sounds like a nightmare & she sounds like she's well shot of him!

Send it to her at your address recorded delivery. Do you live in the house/are you the owner? If you are a resident landlord the rules regarding notice periods are different and are more in LL's favour.

You'd probably be better starting your own post for advice TBH
