Asked to move out by landlord - now being let out again!

This is typical of the type of comments that contribute to giving tenants a bad name.
Now, now mrginge you are being naughty and not quoting the whole sentence. I'm sure most of us dislike landlords who ignore their responsibilities just as much as we dislike tenants who do the same.
What happened between you and Guest101 anyway? You were getting on so well earlier this year and even found yourselves agreeing on a couple of things. Where has the love gone?

Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.0 -

Except that is not what the post said. What it said was that the tenant did not need to leave unless the specific steps had happened, which is correct. Maybe a comprehension problem? :beer:ScorpiondeRooftrouser wrote: »Then someone told him that regardless of what had happened (or even whether he wanted to) he should have stayed until bailiffs were sent round.

Correct, but utterly irrelevant to the OP's point. So why bring it up unless he was advising him he should have done it?0 -
Bit of a random question but just saw this thread and thought...
If a landlord can evict with 2 months notice, why can't a tenant leave with 2 months notice?0 -

Because they can leave with one month's notice? Why would any tenant want to have to give two month's notice?
If your question is "Isn't this inequitable?" I would have to agree. I suspect the reason is finding a new property to rent is more difficult than finding a new tenant to rent your property.0 -

Surely , the LL can only evict with two months notice after any minimum agreed period has been exceeded ? Likewise , a tenant can give notice of a month , at any point after the same?Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.0 -

Correct, this is notice after the initial fixed term.
However there is no legal minimum for a tenancy. But a LL can only use s21 ( 2 months notice) after 6 months, even if the fixed term was only for 3 months.0 -

My understanding was a LL can serve notice to evict you with 2 months notice anywhere throughout the tenancy. For example in the above, if the house has sold.
Seems unfair that the tenant doesn't get the same privileges.0
