Surely you would get a job first, then give notice.

That's a risk you take with this plan. You do need to prepare for that possibility because it will naturally be in their interest to start looking earlier rather than later. What more time does is give them the chance to be more fussy about where they will move to, so they could well end up using all of the time that you give them.

Aside from the finances, the "right" thing to do is to let them know what is happening so that they can emotionally prepare for it.

I was initially worried my tenants might give their notice when I told them I was selling (though they had been there for some years) and I don't actually think most people's first thought is necessarily to do that if they find they are going to have to leave.

As everyone has said, be straight with them and take your chances... be as transparent as possible, then you can feel you are doing the right thing and if anything goes wrong, no one can accuse you of hiding anything.

Missko you are not a !!!!!. You have a house, you rented out and now you need it back. That is the way things go. Sounds to me that you are perfectly reasonable and provided you give tenants due notice there is nothing to beat yourself about. Good luck with your future plans.

If they know your relationship has ended they are probably wondering themselves whether you'll be moving back. I think they'd appreciate knowing exactly what's going on, and that you're not looking to be moving back into your flat in the near future, but that once you have a job you'll give them plenty of notice to find somewhere.

I'm sure it will reassure them that you're not going to just evict them without anywhere to go, but you might have to accept that they might move out before they have a job and you'll be left with no way to pay the mortgage.

You could look into the possibility of a short payment break if you are still out of work when they move out, or at least you have the option of the bank of mum and dad!
