    valid, now that's throws a new spanner in the works.
    reading through the thread, it appears the contract isn't valid as its been abused by the ll and la, so the contract has ended to some degree.


    A broken contract does not mean an ended contract. If one party breaks a contract then the contract still continues, as the other party can request specific performance from the other party to adhere to the contract.

    I gave the example of what the agent did splicing together two contracts as example of why I dont trust the letting agent.

    In hindsight, I should have probably reported them to the local council then, now it may come across as opportunistic.

    As JJ said above, best to focus on the issue at hand now. I.e. him serving the correct paperwork within the proper timeframes for your notice to be valid.


    I agree your LL has done literally everything against the rulebook and for this fact you should not make his life easy and you be out of pocket at the same time.


    If it is not in your interests to move yet, please don't roll over.


    learning to fight for yourself in this way and becoming acquainted with how to settle disputes using the law is a very valuable experience on lifes journey.


    People like your LL prey on people like you who don't their rights and how to use them

    No.

    If contract = not valid = no valid contract = valid contract cannot be "some degree ended". Unless of course you mean "nearly some time before it's ended", which is completely meaningless on a non-valid contract. Though the OP now has a valid contract (but keep all references to the old one for future reference).


    a contract is only valid while its t&c's are being upheld, once this is no longer the case the contract has ended to some degree, be that a small degree (for renegotiation) or in its entirety.

    and if the specific performance is not adhered to then the contract has ended to some degree, as indeed it was on the first breakage.

    Think skitler has had one too many. Or if not, is just bored. Or trolling.

    Either way not worth the time of night, so off to bed...:wave:

    Today i have received a letter from the LL solicitor. They have now issues a S21 (1)(b), saying that they require possession after the 14th of June 2014 and is dated 10th April 2014. This has been sent by Lanlord Assist which "encourages me to discuss my intentions with my Landlord".
