Your LL has sent an S21 notice to quit and wants you to leave.
If it was dated from the 22-12-13 then you have until the 22-02-14 to leave the property!

If the LL issued a S21(1)(b), then ye.

But if the LL issued a S21(4)(a), then 2 months aligned with tenancy periods goes to 18th March.

( Periods run 19th - 18th)

Assuming LL put correct dates n and the S21 is valid.

But since the OP consistently fails to answer, we don't know do we?

Like any wrting the same signature can be 'different' on different documents but are always similar. The two signatures involved are TOTALLY different.



I am learning for the future. So, if I understand, as a tenant I could equally make a fake signature on my next tenancy agreement....Great!

Go for it, your still liable, not your signature. Seriously deluded if I think this is a case.

You rented the property as a working tenant and now you are claiming HB so it is you that wants to change the way he/she gets the rental income.
It often takes weeks to get the rent from HB. Claimants are now paid direct and are expected to manage there money ( many cannot do this )
This builds up arrears and delays in getting rent paid.
Why are you not getting the full deposit back ?

Also, how do you know?

If it's for damages you have the opportunity to fix things before you leave the property, if it's for rent owed then pay it off, then you will get your deposit back.

You're still not understanding, anything you write by your own hand, even if you sign it with an 'X' becomes your signature for that document, a forgery, by it's very nature must have been done by someone else, you can't forge your own signature.

Now if you're saying he signed with a false name, that's different, but not illegal.

About time.

It makes no difference to the legality of the situation what the landlords signature looked like then versus now.

Even if you dispute it, you agree he was in the room, you agree you signed it, and he has a witness there to say he also signed it.

You both agreed a contract.

You both have to abide by the terms of that contract.

And you should probably just accept that most landlords don't accept benefits claimants as landlords insurance and mortgages can be void if they knowingly do so.

However equally, so long as you continue to pay rent uninterrupted there is no need for them to know, so keep that information to yourself next time.

A lot like the tool of an OP here.

The signature is a non-issue. Even if the friend signed the contract instead of the landlord, you have moved into the property and paid rent which was accepted. This means by law you have a tenancy. To end the tenancy you must either give valid notice (same as now) and the landlord must evict you using the courts (same as now). Therefore move on from this and deal with the important issues. If you want to leave and your fixed term has ended, give one tenancy period as notice and leave.

No, I was present when the landlord signed the tenancy agreement with me. There was equally one of his friend in the property when we signed the tenancy agreement.

In fact, in my case, I believe that the signature on the tenancy agreement was maybe forged.

These 2 things conflict

if you saw him sign it you know it isn't forged
