Advice on moving out

mummyfleming

Hello,
I have just been accepted to move into a new flat!
all through estate agent and everything is on track that side.
Problem I am having is the flat I currently live in.
When I moved into this private rent, I was getting out of a refuge with my daughter. I have never lived in housing other than military so I had no clue what I was doing.
Long story short I have a piece of paper stating £800 a month with 4 weeks notice to move. That is it. I know it was wrong


Now my issue is that since this paper was signed, my landlord has moved, my rent has gone up and I have had no end off issues with flat which have not been sorted by him. Is this still valid?
I have had people saying its not worth the paper its written on, I can just walk out and drop keys at address I have for him.
Popel even suggesting I don't pay this months rent! (I get HB so I will be paying that to him atleast before anyone goes off)


I can move into my new flat Saturday, they really want someone in NOW. I just don't want to say to my landlord the wrong thing. that's if I can contact him


Thank you

How long have you been in the current property and did you pay a deposit?

If you have a legal tenancy agreement, your landlord is entitled to the notice you contracted to-in this case 4 weeks. What has his change of address got to do with it?
Presumably if he wanted to evict you without notice, rather than 4 weeks notice, you would object?
Is your deposit lodged with the DPS?
Any issues you have with the flat are not relevant to the notice period required.
