obviously someone who doesn't have kids. Maybe the people who are moving in here could tell their landlord the same thing.When your dealing with Families stuff happens.I did it early because i was trying to do the right thing.

Yeah, can do pretty much whatever you like if you have kids. Carte Blanche really.

Heaven forbid that knowing you had the responsibilty of looking after your family you planned properly, rather than assuming that others would bend to accommodate your needs at their own inconvenience.

Am pretty sure he can't just rock up and turf you out even if you gave notice, just like he couldn't if he gave you notice, he'd still need to go through the courts ec. He's likely to be pretty narked off to be fair but it would be much better for him to accept your'e not leaving and try and go along with it than to line up alternative tenants and have to let them down at the last minute (in my opinion anyway).
Could you move in with family or friends at all for a week or 2?
Why did you give notice before you've exchanged? couldn't you have pushed for a longer period between exchange and completion to give you time to serve your notice on your landlord? It just seems a risky gamble to have taken (and one which appears to have gone badly wrong ).

The reason why i gave notice to the LL is that he was insisting i sign a new contract which ran out in September. I would of liked to wait until exchange but he didnt want to[promted by letting agents] There's a lot of people on this site who presume they know all the facts when they dont.

Being a LL is a business and you show know the law before you set out

Well, you should have come here for advice, because the worst they could have done to you if you did not sign up is give you a Section 21 notice seeking repossession - and you could have used stalling tactics over the contract to ensure that a S21 was not issued until about now, which would have left you secure until November time

You were under no obligation to sign a new contract. You could simply have stayed and moved to a Statutory Periodic (monthly) Tenancy. See here.

Giving notice was VERY rash.

Personally whatever the legal position, I feel there is a strong moral obligation on you now to vacate. YOU gave notice. The LL accepted it and made plans.

More to the point, so did the new tenants who are arranging to move in. If you stay they will be (blamelessly) homeless, whereas if YOU leave, you will be homeless due to your own (foolhardy) actions.

Do the decent thing!

You could have let the tenancy roll over into a periodic tenancy rather than make a promise to move out by a given date (as in giving notice).

The blame here is shared - you are not hard done by... you failed to see that completion dates move - YOUR mistake. Now you are inconveniencing a lot of other people.

Yes, letting properties is a business - but YOU are not the only one who is impacted by your lack of planning. What about the other tenants?

Stop feeling like the hard-done-by victim, get a grip and do the honourable thing... move out into temporary accommodation.

You did not serve notice because LL/agent wanted you to sign a new contract (which would not make much sense), you did not sign a new contract because you wanted to be able to leave in September.
And your contract ran out in August.
This was the discussion in your previous thread.

Not signing a new contract was a good idea. Serving notice before you had exchanged not so much.

Sturman you genuinely make my blood boil. Who do you think you are to be messing around the LL and his new tenants?
Really annoys me how you are looking for loopholes to stay longer to fit your timelines. Stop being so cheap and move your kids into a B&B or something ... I'm sure that the LL will let you pitch up in the garden?

I offered that to the LL but under influence from the LA declined.I offered him 2 months notice{see my other post]but he declined.The LA gave me a section 21 when i signed a years contract that expired a year later.Maybe there should be a law stating that properties can only be marketed with vacant possesion......Because things happens....dont be so judgemental...i just want advice about eviction not a lecture

Hi,

what's the other side of the story about the house that you are buying?

Why the delay, will the folks still be living there, if so, then to use your own argument, why are they not thinking about you and your kids being homeless?

EXACTLY,we all stay put LL make money letting agents lose out because there's no contract...LLK to thick to understand that and LA too greedy. This is the problem when you have a one off LL,they listen to LA
