Landlord wants me out....

My landlord put the house up for sale , and I allowed viewings when I was t working, but now she says that's not enough and wanted me to take time off work to fit them in. Which I obviously refused. She then sent a family member round to warn me, if I didn't do what she wanted I was out... I told him I'm not taking time out of work so he said I'm out.
Next day I get a hand written letter saying I have 8 weeks to get out.
I thought this needed to be more official?.. Thanks .

Asking you to take days off for viewings is a bit much and sending the family member round is going too far.0

If they're giving eight weeks then best to just get somewhere else asap.
They obviously want you out.0 -
They still have to do it properly. Is your deposit protected? Eventually you will have to move but you don't have to permit viewings at times grossly inconvenient to yourself.0

If you're in an Assured Shorthold Tenancy you're going nowhere. If it's periodic, they can issue you two months notice.
Their expectation that you show around prospective buyers is unreasonable, irrespective of time off work issue.
Their property, their money, they can do the leg work. No way would I be putting effort into to losing my home.0 -
How long has your tenancy to run?0

I'm on a periodic tenancy and my deposit is protected.0

I'd ignore the 'notice', but start looking for another property and give notice once I'd sorted that out. This gives you plenty of time as I doubt the handwritten note constitutes an S21 and there is no proof of service unless you signed for it. Only a properly served S21 followed by court action can end your tenancy.0

Make sure you take photos of the condition etc
Sounds like they may be funny with you so make sure its all above board0 -
you can stop all viewings or you can allow some and tell the viewers its a dump .Up to you really ."Do not regret growing older, it's a privilege denied to many"0

Surely you'll be out anyway if they are selling?0
