Yeah you will. You havent been served notice. And even when you have that only means they start the eviction process. Untill a court says so its your place.

Basically in total you'll be there a further 3-6 months.

The council might not offer to rehome you unless you wait until eviction.

Ugh
So the LL will serve me a proper notice…I won't be able to move. So he will take me to court and serve me eviction. Is that right? Has anyone actually done this before? Of course I will carry on paying rent and etc.
He says he needs to move back in…I don't want to create trouble for him but I don't want to create trouble for myself either...

What you just described is the ONLY way a LL can end a tenancy, unless the tenant agrees. So yes lots of times this happens. Dozens a day id wager

Deleted_User if you search through my previous posts, I went through this earlier this year and I stayed well past the S21 date. If you want to pm me to have a chat about it, feel free. I got so much good advice from here.

Hi Deleted_User,

Sorry to hear of your situation.

First of all, the landlord has not served notice as that would need to be in the form of a Section 21 (1b) notice, delivered to you.

You say you moved in three years ago and you are on an Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST) - are you renewing your AST every 6/12 months or has it now rolled on? If so that is now a Statutory Periodic Tenancy (SPT)

You are correct on thinking the landlord should have given you two months notice in the form of a Section 21 (1b) notice if you are in the middle of a tenancy term or a Section 21 (4a) notice if your fixed term has come to a natural end.

The landlord can also issue you a Section 8 Ground 1 notice which states the landlord or their spouse occupied the house as their only home at one time, and now wish to return.

You can agree to leave if you so wish but I do not think this is fair on you and your family seeing as the notice has not been served correctly.

As mentioned by other people, the landlord may offer you some cash incentive to move out such as offering to pay part or all of the moving costs, administration fees or both and if you are comfortable with accepting this, then go ahead, but again, I do not see this as fair on you.

Definitely also confirm the details of your deposit with your Deposit Protection Scheme to be on the safe side.

My suggestions:

- Go to your local council and ask for a Housing Benefit re-assessment and you may be eligible to claim more.
- Talk to Shelter, a charity that specialises in homelessness
- Go to your local council and ask about the properties they have

Good luck.

Have you checked if he registered your deposit properly?

the council will probably offer you nothing as you have a home .Contact shelter first ,they can advise the best way to approach the council .

On the contrary... you have a child and will soon be homeless through no fault of your own, and have strong connections with the area. From the date of a court ordering eviction you would be in the very highest priority group for social housing....

Anyway, contact Shelter without delay, and ask their advice about applying for social housing.

I_have_spoken

99% of councils will insist you hold on until a court ordered eviction, otherwise they'll say you made yourself homeless by leaving voluntarily.

Where they would provide emergency accommodation is hard to say, but a B&B could be the starting point then re-housed based on need and HA flats etc. becoming available.

I never renewed the tenancy it has rolled on.
How do I check the deposit?
My HB has just recently been re-assessed, I guess I need to use a calculator and see how much would I get if I was to pay even more rent but moving out to a more expensive place is so risky. Also the LLs and agencies here are not very friendly towards people who needs to receive HB to pay the rent….
