Never understood this .....the LL will get the house back sooner or later. Some tenants seem to put so much effort into staying in a property rather than looking for a new one.
I don't get it myself....
The person who owns the property wants it back, then give them it back...you will have to eventually.

I don't get why some landlords fail to meet even the most basic legal requirements of letting out a property yet they do.
The ownership of the property passes to the tenant during the tenancy. That's why the LL cannot end the tenancy and has to serve notice to start the process of gaining possession again and going to court if necessary.0 -

At least I am not planning in suing him for not protecting my deposit. He wanted the benefits of being a LL and receive the rent but didn't bother to do things properly.
Is understandable he wants his property back in 2 moths time but unfortunately my circumstances changed…he should know that he needs to allow time for the court order.0 -
The ownership of the property passes to the tenant during the tenancy..
It most certainly does not.
The tenant has a limited right to use the property for defined purposes during the term of the lease.
They are temporarily borrowing the property in return for financial compensation to the landlord.
At no time does ownership transfer.
Once the correct notice is given and notice period expires, the tenant is under a contractual obligation to leave the property, and if they breach this obligation and force the landlord to obtain possession through the courts, they can have costs awarded against them and the chances of getting a reference are effectively nil.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.
Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.”

That's never the case in an AST if the notice is from the landlord.0 -

Why on earth not?
I don't understand why I should?
As long as he pays my deposit back I am ok.
I don't want to cause him hardship. As far as I know he has only this property, and a family. Apparently he rents where he is living right now. It is not like he has a portfolio with 50 houses and being a LL is his main job.0 -

Oh no they're not. (Well it is panto season.) The tenancy can only be ended by the tenant or a court, not a landlord.0 -
There is no transfer of ownership, it's more complex than that. The article linked to is misleading.
During the lease the tenant has exclusive possession, which more or less means that he can use the property as if it was his.
The tenant has possession and use to the exclusion of the landlord. But the landlord is still obviously the one who owns the property: He is entitled to rent from the tenant, he is entitled to sell the property and benefit from the sale, if the tenant damages the property then the landlord is entitled to compensation, etc.0
