Notice To Quit

Crikey! I had no idea my stupid oversight was going to stir up such controversy. According to the calendar I consulted Tuesday the 1st of May is a Bank Holiday. Which very strongly suggests that the damned thing was printed somewhere they don't use the Gregorian calendar. China or Israel perhaps, I dunno. I wonder if they've got Christmas Day on the 25th of December this year? I'd better go and double-check before I make plans to show up at my sister's house on the wrong day!

Although the Bank Holiday for Christmas is set by Statute as 24th Dec, there is no reason why you and your sister should not mutually agree to celebrate Christmas on any day of your choosing (eg 25th dec).

However I would strongly advise that you obtain your sister's ageement in writing.

As long as that daft bint has all my presents wrapped, a decent dinner planned and the central-heating on the "sub-tropical" setting I don't care what day it is.

As in all things contractual, it's usually best to try a bit of friendly communication rather than going the all guns-blazing formal route.....

If the last day of the rental period is 30th April, don't stay the extra day, or you will be due to pay an extra month's rent.

As mentioned previously, OP shoul have the conditions of the surrender in writing to avoid any such claim from the landlord.

Thanks for all the responses. Just wanted to have all my ducks in a row before I called the agent.

Merry Christmas B&T!

Best check your calendar to verify what date the Duck Hunting season starts this year!

The agent is under no obligation to accept a duck for Christmas in place of the traditional turkey.

However, as a landlord, I would accept a duck (I dislike turkey). As BitterAndTwisted suggests:

then get in writing whatever duck/turkey compromise you reach.

ps - watch out for buck-shot in the shot duck. A shot duck with shot in its but can suck cos, with bad luck, the buck-shot can muck up your pot - not a jot what a hot lad would want. Tooth-rot!

We live in England and were served a section 21 in February stating the Landlord wishes to take possession on 1st May.

We contacted the LA and asked if there was any chance of extending until the end of May to give us more time to find somewhere. The house is in probate and being sold so she spoke to the LL and he agreed, no point leaving it empty. The LA kept saying she would reissue the section 21 during March with a possession date of 1st June but this never happened, despite us chasing her continuously. Then last week we found somewhere and all being well we take the keys next Friday so will be out of our current place on 30th as originally planned.

Out of courtesy I called the LA to let her know and she said we had to give a month's notice. I explained we had a section 21 with a date of 1st May and the checkout had already been booked for 30th April. She admitted she hadn't got round to putting anything in writing bu thought her word was good enough! Who's right?

You are providing the Sect 21 is legal.
