After that you just need to not get/ not stay eight weeks behind in your rent and the landlord cannot evict you with a section 8 within the fixed term.
That's not completely correct. The 8 weeks only applies to Ground 8. There's still ground 10 and 11 which can be used, which are of course discretionary. However if the tenant isn't able to demonstrate to the court that they can pay the contracted payment plus money off the arrears, it's highly likely they will award possession back to the landlord.0 -

Thanks for your reply. My landlord has been great, and I don't want to be difficult, I just prefer to be in as I want to be able to keep an eye on my belongings. I just didn't know if I was entitled to request that, so thanks for your help
PupPupI have autism, so apologies if I come across as rude. It may just be my communication problems.0
