    They're probably kicking you out as you sound like an a$$ - you were planning on leaving yet start making noises about the landlord needing a court order. It's tenants like you that gives everyone a bad name and makes me agree with landlords that there are too many protective steps for tenants. I mean the guy has given you a couple of months notice, why shouldn't he get his property back.

    Totally agree. OPs post gets my nomination for "most pointless post of the year"

    Have you not thought through the need to depart on good terms, in order to secure a clean reference??
    :rolleyes:

    The LL wants the house back, so he would have to be stupid to not give a clean reference and delay things:confused:

    Some landlords are unaware that they need to rely on the good grace of a tenant for viewings for a new tenant. Not a good idea to upset a tenant. Much better to keep on good terms with them.

    As a landlord, I can understand the tenants anoyance. It costs a lot to move house. English housing law hasn't caught up with most European laws (yet) of a minimum 3 year tenancy, to protect the tenant.

    Is the S21 legal? Did the LL protect your deposit? Did the LL give you the prescribed information?
