I have contacted my solicitor who is going to write a letter about the following :

(A) The entering of the property without consent
(B) The invalid S21 notice when the AST holds no break clauses what so ever and also the S21 does not even give the relevant notice period even if it was legitimate

What are you trying to achieve? Isn't this just going to cost you money and result in no change in your circumstances? You aren't going to get any compensation for either of these infractions.

If it wasn't for the issue of messing the landlord around with the rent arrears, I wouldn't be leaving early in your situation, not unless a much better deal came up.

I'd be asking landlord to compensate me in which case I would move ASAP. Otherwise I'd be holding the landlord to the terms. It's not like the landlord is going to give a good reference either way.

But there is the issue of the arrears which meant that you did not stick to the terms, so maybe you feel like doing the landlord a favour of making it two months, i light of that.

Good

Up to you, but
a) what will this achieve? You can stop him entering again by changing thelock(as advised) for £5-10. You can ignore the S21 without any letter needed
b) what will it cost you this letter???

The relationship with the LL is now strained anyway, therefore, I am planning to move from here,
Make sure you either
a) don't leave before your 12 month tenancy ends or
b) you have written agreement from the LL for Early Surrender
but I would like atleast 2 months notice before doing so
?? if YOU are the one planning to leave, why do you expect HIM to give you notice - 2 months or otherwise??
if anything at all. He aleast deserves to give me that aftr the stress he has caused me

Surely by running up arrears, YOU gave HIM stress.

This is a little OTT! You are throwing good money after bad!

1. Write to the LL yourself. Point out that your tenancy is in a fixed period and therefore you will be happy to vacate the property at the end of your tenancy on X June 2014. Go onto say that in light of his current situation, you would agree to giving up the tenancy early, but only if he pays your expenses finding somewhere else to live. Give him 14 days to respond.

Send the letter with proof of postage.

2. if you haven't already done so, change the barrel lock on the door(s), which you can change back at the end of the tenancy. Easy to do, and about £30 for the lock I think.

So is being a shop keeper.

Maybe a better example is

A judge is responsible for prison overcrowding because he went to law school. :rotfl:
