End of tenancy council advise wait for eviction

He told us that he spoke to his solicitor and we aren't able to stay longer as this house has to be empty for completion on July 1st.....
Where do we stand in regards to this?
TIA0 -
Not yet as up until Friday we had found a property, just waiting on his reference!!! That then caused us to lose the property!
Fair enough. But I'd suggest approaching the LA first thing on Monday. It may not be the solution, but it would be a safety net at the very least, and they may have a range of options available, some of which may help you to source accommodation of the standard you wish.
In terms of your current accommodation, only the courts can physically remove you. If you have nowhere else to go, then the obvious answer is that you stay put. The LA may offer temp accommodation which would meet your most basic needs, but I'm sure you would want slightly more than this for your own family, so stay put for now. As long as you remain, rent is due and should be paid.
From expiry of the S21 to the court appointed bailiffs turning up could take anything up to 12 months, so plenty of time to find alternative accommodation.
However, this is far from ideal, so I would view it as borrowed time and make the most of it. You secured an alternative promptly once, so it shouldn't be a problem to do so again.0 -

To forcibly remove you from the property against your wishes, he will need to go through the full eviction process via the courts. This could take many months to complete. Whatever his solicitor tells him is not your concern.0 -
Can't add much else to what has been said, but if you do want social housing then hang fire, and wait for the court to evict you. You may have to spend a few months in temporary accommodation, but it will be worth it to get an assured tenancy. Don't go into another private let. Not if you want social housing. I know this may not sit well with some people, me saying this, but it's the best way forward if you do want (and need) social housing.)
Good luck.0 -

Yes it's our plan first thing Monday..... We will be outside waiting for them to open
Yes not ideal but need to secure a property so not in this situation again!!!
Going to change the locks Monday too, he's quite an aggressive man so I know he will attempt to come in, better to be safe than sorry
Does anyone know what will happen in regards to new buyer???0 -

The Homeless Duty can now be discharged with a private rented tenancy, so it isn't the passport to social housing it used to be.0 -
On the day that the tenancy is meant to end what do we do? Do we call him? Write to him? Let him know prior our intentions to stay put?
Sorry for all the questions0 -

It would be the polite thing to keep him informed. However, if you read the S21 notice served, it will say that he intends to approach the courts after the date specified. So, you could just let him do what he said he would do and approach the courts.0 -

Don't contact him. Inform the local plod of the situation, and that you believe an illegal eviction may be about to take place.0
