That way it's available to be actioned (by applying to court for possession) should it be needed later on. It's easy for tenants to miss that bit of paperwork amongst the rest or not realise it can still be actioned months or years later if the tenant hasn't signed a new tenancy agreement.

In this instance, the landlord has increased the rent once, which tenant paid at increased level, then increased it again. An argument can be put forward that these actions are inconsistent with a desire to end the tenancy and the S21 can be declaired invalid.

What argument is that then?

The argument that is used to dismiss a S21 notice when the LLs actions are inconsistent with a desire to end a tenancy? Plenty of case law out there to support that stance, if you'd care to look.

Perhaps that is something YOU should have researched before your initial post on the matter.

No really, if you have any links to case law to assist on showing when an S21 becomes void I'd be really pleased if you could supply them. Thanks.

No I thought from your post you already knew of case law to back up your argument that the S21 would be void. Don't worry if you've nothing to back that up, but if you do have something I'd be really interested if you could post the details. Thanks.

Wee Willy is absolutely right, though asking him for case law is a bit cheeky. Now if the OP were asking for confirmation etc I'd understand, but another poster using the thread to learn the ropes - esp a poster who makes erroneous statements like "Has she got a gas certificate from this joke of a landlord? If not, he cannot even legally serve an S21."" (guess you're getting confused with deposit protection?)

But the point here is that we don't even know if the tenant has even received a S21, valid or otherwise! Unless I've missed something, all the OP said was "an estate agent rang the other day and said the property has been sold, and my friend has 2 weeks to vacate the property"

The OP needs to clarify before we all get bogged down in case law discussions!
