When can they throw me out?

OP - if your living conditions are so dire,and your landlord so horrid, why didn't you give notice yourself and find somewhere else to live? Correct me if i'm wrong, but no-one forced you to live in your current accommodation - and I don't believe there are no other flats/houses in your area. No matter what has gone on to get you where you're at now, there seems to be a lot you could have done to help yourself - for a start, why didn't you check your rights a long time ago? I rent, and would never have signed that tenancy agreement if I had no clue about the laws involved (which are there to protect both tenant and landlord). If you knew to begin with that you were on dodgy ground witholding rent for alleged damp issues, you shouldn't have done it, simple as that. Maybe you did have your reasons, but you sure have gone the wrong way about dealing with it.

People on here can only give advice based on what you tell us - and you were distinctly cagey from the start. It's nothing personal mate, so stop playing the victim and take control of YOUR situation.

I agree with clutton - your landlord could have taken steps to get you out ages ago, so you should think yourself lucky you're still there. Renters like you give is all a bad name.
