Tenancy Issue
Comments
-
If the email correspondence is accepted as evidence of you surrendering the tenancy early, the landlord would still need to apply to court to get you evicted and even then you don't have to leave until the bailiffs physically remove you from the property. So whilst you have asked to end the tenancy early and messed your landlord around you could string this out for a few more months.
Your landlord, being an amateur and !!!!ed off, could enter the property whilst you're away, change the locks on you and leave your belongings in the street even though it would be completely illegal. That's what my concern in your position would be.
Hopefully after having his fingers burned, your landlord will start doing things by the book.0 -

Again, an agreement to surrender at a later date is NOT a surrender.
The tenancy will only end if the tenant does surrender it as agreed. If he does not, his landlord will not simply be able to start court proceedings, but will have to serve notice first.0 -

An email is in writing.
Any issues with emails do not stem from them not being "in writing".
Legally speaking an email as effective as a carrier pigeon.0 -
Indeed. But..... you need to be able to communicate effectively. I am sure you will agree that you cannot do this if you do not have a decent command of the language in question.
Given that your level of English is horrible, I am happy to use another language. Portuguese? Italian? Both Mandarin and Cantonese? Malay/Indonesian? My French is a bit suspect, but still a possibility.
U do have an answer, I told u that you do not have to leave as email is not a signed surrender agreement. Legally it's standing is the same as a verbal agreement, impossible to prove you said/sent it.
My level of English is fine. A simple mistake between typing your and you're is easy to understand. If you struggled to get my meaning by that mistake then it is your lack of common sense.0 -
This is not true. Until now, I still do not have a conclusive answer. But what jjlandlord wrote makes sense.
Why oh why, why can't agencies open on Sundays? Do viewings on Saturdays and Sundays? Ppl are at work during the week!!! I think they'll get more business if they are open on weekends (and take Monday or some other weekday off).
Oh and yes I agree agencies would increase business with more acceptable hours. Given that they want tenants who work, it's not practical to attract these tenants without catering for business at weekends0 -
Not too sure who's talking rubbish here.
Emails are in writing. That's one thing, and what matters here as the issue is to prove what was discussed and agreed.
Now you're changing the topic to service of notices by emails, which is off topic. But: If you are allowed to serve notice by emails, or if receiver accepts the notice, deemed date of service is the day the email was sent.0 -
No it's not. You cannot prove that it was the tenant who sent the email or ever received the agreement.
Letter are considered served 1st class after two days. When is an email considered served?
How do you prove a verbal contract?
How do you prove that a person who wrote threatening tweets was the person who's name is on the account.
There are plenty of cases where email has been accepted within law.
Perhaps you should qualify your misleading statements rather than spout some generic claptrap that you have no actual knowledge of.0 -

U could be allowed to serve notice by email if it's in the contract , but that's rare. So yes if it is agreed then it would be served on the day. What I mean is in general practice, email is not an accepted form of serving notice. Whether that be for repair or surrender or whatever0
