Changing the date of vacating the property (tenancy)

    Incidentally if the OP was an HB tenant waiting for council re-housing, the advice on this forum is generally to stay put. However inconvenient for the landlord that may be.

    With respect, that advice is usually applied when it is the LL serving notice.

    If the OP has ended the tenancy, after that time they have no right to stay in the property as they are not a tenant having ended the contract themselves.

    Could the landlord not ask the police to remove her as at that point it is a matter of trespass.

    No, because a tenancy can only be ended by mutual agreement or a court order.

    Notice from T plus acceptance by LL is mutual agreement?

    Technically, the LLs agreement to accept notice is part of a tenancy. In this instance, the tenant not leaving implies that there is no mutual agreement.

    And the moral for landlords? Never confirm a date for a new tenant until you are sure of the keys in your hands.

    Ms Sophia, what do you actually want to hear? I might know of a site where they will tell you that, but not this one.

    With all due consideration to the OP I think we need to define forum here: a situation or meeting in which people can talk about a problem or matter especially of public interest, a forum for debate/discussion.

    Basically people are free to express what ever view they wish, whether you asked for it or not. Just because an answer or advice is not what you wanted to hear, it does not mean that it is invalid.

    The root of the problem here, as has reasonably been stated by many, is that you made a poor decision based on something your builder told you. Therefore it it is the builder you should take this issue up with. Upon this issue the LL has seemingly acted correctly. Whilst this view may not be to your liking, it is the predominant view and probably the correct one.

    Case where a landlord is dealing with a tenant who gave notice then remained.

    No, because a tenancy can only be ended by mutual agreement or a court order.

    As already said several times in this very thread, a notice to quit by the tenant unilaterally ends the tenancy.
    Technically, the LLs agreement to accept notice is part of a tenancy. In this instance, the tenant not leaving implies that there is no mutual agreement.

    The landlord cannot "refuse" the tenant's notice.

    Please see my previous posts: #40 and #43.

    As mentioned, if the tenant does not leave then depending on the behaviour of the parties a new tenancy may be in effect created or it may not.
