To make the point a bit clearer

The suggestion was to use the rent to put back the deposit.

Agreed this would then put me 1 month in arrears. I was happy to cover this over two months rent payments net result deposit is back and I'm then clear of my arrears.

to that end really LL should have just let me go into arrears for 1 month without touching the deposit so in effect we are both to blame.

agreed LL was very fair to allow me such grace!! however looking at some posts people are months in arrears and it seems that LL's can be stuck in accepting that problem as it appears that nothing can be done really untill a T is 2 months or 8 weeks in arrears.

It seems that you would be quite prepared to go 8 weeks in arrears because other people have done so. The LL has allowed you to go into arrears but is presumably concerned as to the future and has decided it would be better to get a new tenant and has served you with notice. If I was your LL I would probably do the same. By the way I rent a property and am not a LL. I presume that you AST has a clause re viewings and the required notice etc so this should not be a surprise but if there are too many then this would affect the 'quiet enjoyment'.

Sorry Hudson but I think the previous response was not unreasonable .
You expect the landord to make provsion for someone not paying their rent because of redundancy and yet you didnt make any provision for it your self. You are taking the approach " He's running a business so he should expect a default and just put up with it".

You have suggested there is a history between the two of you but havent , rightly perhapos, given a lot of detail but from what you have posted so far I certainly would not put this LL in the lower league of Rachmans and it is you who is being a pain in the ar5e.

You appear to have told us you have an agreement from 21/03/10 to 21/09/2010. If this end date is correct than the s.21 notice served gives you significantly more notice than required if it was served on the 12/08/10 and seeks possesion after 10/11/10.

If the the date of your contract is 21/03/10 to 21/11/10, as you state you have told shelter, then the saving words located under the dates are likley to still make the notice valid, with the LL being able to seek possesion after 21/11/10.

You have every right to refuse access if you want. Although we always reccomend you be as flexiable as possible.

Write a letter to the police, as previously advised.

Write a letter to your LL refusing future access. Change the locks and change them back before you move if you suspect this withdrawl of premission will be ignored.

Good luck.

Thanks planner

it's been good to get so many people's opions and there are all valued. As the comment was made there is quite a bit more to this saga than I care to go into.

The brilliant thing about this forum is people been allowed to express opions rightly or wrongly and second the knowlege that comes from the people in the forum that have a wealth of experiance or have gone through similar circumstances.

The one thing I have leaned is that the law is complex and it is only by using a forum as good as this that you are able to get the perspective of the "normal person".

This is what indeed led to the original post I wanted clarification of the facts and yes quite rightly in some respects been told when I am been an !!!! or compounding the matter and I am the first to admit I have been confrontational but this in fairness has normally been in defence or retaliation.

It's only by reading people's comments that it does put matters into perspective and that is sometimes what I need and rightly as was pointed out earlier I need to concentrate my efforts on other things. It's a real shame that matters have got this bad as in all honesty the relationship we had initially was brilliant.

So a big thankyou to everyone for their imput good and bad deserved and undeserved and above all thanks to everyone who was able to offer advice.
