hi, i have just received a notice to quit from my landlord, i have lived in the house 2 year now and got this notice.
the landlord has not personally contacted me to explain this but it says i need to sign it and send it back to her.
does anyone know if this means i have to leave??
the notice came with a letter that says
as you are aware by now, at this stage in your tenancy i am obliged to serve upon you a notice to quit.
this document is enclosed in duplicate and i shall be obliged if you will sign one copy where indicated and return the same to me please as quickly as possible.
this is a statutory requirement of the tenancy and i do not anticipate any problems in offering you a new tenancy prior to expiration of the existing one on the 22nd july 2011.
i dont understand what this means can anyone help??
thanks

When you say, just recieved, when exactly?
I suspect your LL is already to late to serve a section 21 notice for your departure on July 22.If you've have not made a mistake, you've made nothing0 -
hi, it came tuesday dated 20th may0

That sounds weird. Do they mean they want you out? Or they want to give you a new contract?:heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.0

RAS, is it possible that the old landlord has sold the house but the new one wants to keep OP on?
I wouldn't sign anything until it has been clarified.:heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.0 -

A section 21 notice is not a notice to quit. It just entitles the landlord to seek a possession order in court after it expires.
Your tenancy does not end until you surrender it, or are evicted by bailiffs.
Do not sign and return it! Looks like your landlord is hoping you will graciously provide a proof of service... Remember he will need such proof if he start court proceedings.
You should provide dates stated on the notice and date and fixed term period of your tenancy for us to check the notice's validity.this is a statutory requirement of the tenancy and i do not anticipate any problems in offering you a new tenancy prior to expiration of the existing one on the 22nd july 2011.
This is absolutely not a statutory requirement!
Looks like your landlord is confused or trying to pressurize you into a new fixed term.
When your current fixed term ends, if you remain in occupation a statutory periodic tenancy will arise. You'll be able to leave on a month notice and your landlord will be able to serve you a s.21 notice to expire on 2 months notice.0 -
hi, it was second class0
