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.

That's not correct.

A LL can only evict after the fixed term ( unless there is a break clause ).

Or via for example section 8 notice if they are in rent arrears.

This thread has become so puerile.

My experience of this is a negative one, speaking from a tenants standpoint. Renting 2 bed flats is fine as they are often bought for investment purposes; family homes are different. We had a bad experience when we are looking for certainty and long term let. Told by the landlord that yes you can have it for as long as you want, at least a couple of years, so we signed up to a years lease. Get told 3 months later that mind changed, wants to move back in (???) we have been given 3 months notice to get out at the end of month 6. Very frustrating as we had not even finished unpacking boxes. Find somewhere else that thankfully we are still living in, move out, try to get a fast one pulled on us for the full £2,000 deposit that we fought and got to keep £1,600 of it (still not great in my view) then it is straight back up for rent 6 weeks after we have moved out, with some decoration having been done and £50 a month higher. Sat for 2 months void.......

Bizarre......

The Landlord obviously had their head turned by some shyster letting agent who promised the Earth and delivered less than nothing.

Good grief! What the h*ll happened? This thread is ... beyond comment!


However to respond to greensalad's query:

Your understanding is incorrect. Read:

* Ending/renewing an AST: what happens when a fixed term ends? How can a LL or tenant end a tenancy? What is a periodic tenancy?
