Advice please, Landlord wants us out

simpywimpy

Im a landlord and this sort of behaviour is unacceptable. Please don't be pushed into moving

DEFINATELY check the deposit in a scheme and sue him if not. Its not difficult to do and someone on here will talk you through it Im sure.

Good luck x

If you want some more proper advice, I would answer these questions.

What date did your tenancy start?
How long was the fixed term?
Contact all of the deposit protection schemes, and see if your deposit is held with any of them.

Does your tenancy agreement state anything about changing the locks?

You need to start thinking and acting methodically.

The chances of him breaking in, throwing your stuff out onto the street, and changing the locks whilst you are out on the school run are somewhat small.

OP, he needs to give you TWO months’ noticein the form of an S21 notice, and this has to be served on the same date in themonth that your agreement started (usually your rent date, if you pay monthly).i.e. if you moved in on the 1st of the month, and your tenancyagreement states the 1st, he must now wait until the 1stof May, to issue you with the two months’ notice.

This is not correct. The notice can be served on any day of the tenancy period, but it must expire at the end of the rental period two months' hence.

Note also that 'served' does not mean 'sent'. Rules of court provide for deemed service two (?) working days after first class posting. Or service would be effected by personal delivery (need witness to this, ideally).
