Ground 1 could apply, ground 2 might also. Both these are mandatory and have nothing to do with breach of contract.

Landlord has enough time to now protect or return deposit and then issue correct S21, requiring you out at the end of the fixed term.
The writing is on the wall, your choice whether you stay til the end of the fixed term or agree with the landlord to end tenancy early.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

On a wider point I do think it rubbish that a good tenant who always pays on time has so little security of tenure and has to keep facing the kind of crap you are getting. Still that's the lot of a tenant in these days of amateur, wanting to get rich quick, it's my pension innit, panic when prices fall, can't really afford to let landlords.0 -
If the landlord puts the deposit into TDS to enable a correct issue of a s21 to terminate the tenancy at 12 months that is a positive result as it means the deposit is covered.
If the landlord hasn't got the money then they are out of luck.
You are going to end up moving and without your deposit protected I don't think you will get it back as the Landlord is obviously in trouble. I would pay the £3 to land registry to find out which bank the mortgage is with and make their legal team aware that you are a tenant.0 -

Quite right, that's one of the things I don't get about the you will have to move anyway brigade, they don't seem to understand that moving takes planning and costs money and a few months here or there can make all the difference to how smoothly it goes. Also the longer you stay in each place the more you cut down the overall number of moves you have to make should this happen again, even one move less saves a heap of costs and hassle.

Ok, so the best advice would be to accept the s.21 and retain the next two months rent and agree to repay say 30% of one month and keep the other as refund of deposit.
This way innocent is in control..... the landlady can't kick him out any faster for not having the rent LOL... plus the 30% would help to pay for removals etc...2010 - year of the troll
