People who haven't got any are usually said to be gormless!

But actually he's right - you post is very difficult to read. No more comment though 'cos its already been covered by others.

If the op is now on a periodic tenancy then the landlord only has to give 2 month notice.

The LL has to give a MINIMUM of 2 calender months, with the notice expiring on the last day of a tenancy period. In practice, this is usually longer than 2 months and can be almost 3.

2 months notice (to end at the end of a rent period) applies to a section 21 notice. As the tenant is in arrears, the landlord could apply to the courts, quoting one of the conditions which is persistent late payment. You would then only get as long as it takes to appoint baliffs.

I would advise being polite to your landlord. Point out that he will get paid in full even if late, that you are a good tenant and that he risks hassle and a void if he turfs you out.

See #20 re Section 8 notice. Very, very unlikely to get possession under these circs.
