Actually one thing you can do, to get your own back.
Is that if the LL is non resident, you have a legal duty withhold portion of the rent and pay the tax man on his behalf.
If I was you, inform EA you are now withholding the rent to covers the LL's tax liability, let see what they say then.0 -

No - if the tenants pay rent to a UK letting agent, it is the agent's responsibility to comply with HMRC requirements regarding non-resident landlords.
Tenants should only withhold tax if they pay rent to the non-resident landlord directly, via someone who is outside the UK, or via someone in the UK who is not a letting agent.Let's settle this like gentlemen: armed with heavy sticks
On a rotating plate, with spikes like Flash Gordon
And you're Peter Duncan; I gave you fair warning0 -
This is curious. If he lives one village over and yet the LA claims he lives abroad that is another weird point.
Personally, I would try to contact the LL direct and ask them what is going on. Your deserves some truth if nothing else.
My bet would be that the LA is lying, although normally they do this to try to increase tenant churn. Given the house is being sold, they might just be lying to give you a reason to go, if they didn't have an explanation from the LL.
They may still want to you move, probably they do if they are selling, so if that's the case then fair enough. But I would be pulling people up on the lies.
(PS don't go in too heavy, you don't know what happened and there is always an outside chance someone did die)0 -
Send a sympathy card to the address you have for the LL in the next village. That should set the cat among the pigeons.No longer a spouse, or trailing, but MSE won't allow me to change my username...0
