Sooz>>I don't want to move somewhere else. I like it just fine where I am, which is why I would like to sort it out so that I move to another of their flats temporarily until the work here is finished. So far tho, all they have done is show me a horrible flat in a worse area and expect me to pay the same as I am now, and they are going to show me another flat at the weekend that they say is better but they want me to pay more rent for!

If they are unable to find me suitable temporary accomodation then I will have to find somewhere myself and sign a new contract, all of this 3 months earlier than I would have expected.

you don't have to move out if the works are not urgent, or only cosmetic. You can stay for the whole of your fixed term. The LL is under no obligation to rent to you for another fixed term, once this one ends. So you might well have to move in 3 months time anyway, or about 6 months further down the line if you decide not to move, & are evicted.

So you can stay where you are, at the same rate, & move in 3 months time, as expected.

tried to quote you, but thanked you instead!

Sooz>>Thanks for my first Thanks (even tho it was by mistake!)

The purpose of my original post was to find out where I stand in this situation. The landlord is trying to pressure me to move out, but are not offering any incentive to do so! I have no intention of staying on past the end of my tenancy and being evicted etc. I'm a law abiding citizen!
