    The tenant is with in the law.

    You moving in with your young child and causing mayhem would be harassment, a criminal offence. Just FYI
    Maybe - but moving in with a baby who cries is not against any law, just because you took the phrasing early the wrong way doesn't make it illegal!

    That doesn't really warrant a reply - but if you think ensuring mum and daughter have a fall back if things don't work out is wrong then you may have a point

    If she needs to move back into the property once she owns it either wholly by herself with a loan to you, or jointly with you, will she needs benefits to assist her? At the moment she can get assistance to pay the HA rent but I'm not so sure she'd get LHA to pay a loan to you or rent due to you being a connected person. You might be making her situation less secure.
    Probably she would not be entitled to benefits but remember it's a house for my daughter too so of course the loan aspect can be altered if the circumstances arise.

    Virtually every post you've made involves manipulating things to YOUR benefit.

    Quit with the feigning that it's in anyone else's interests.

    I'm not sure her financial position. But if you may split up and she then needs to pay rent, bills etc she may need the help of benefits.
    Surely housing benefit would not pay a penny to an ex partner. So she'll be out of pocket and not secure.
    Whereas if she keeps it as it is and you split, she has a secure tenancy and the option to claim benefits which may keep your child safe and healthy.

    If you are desperate to buy, can't you buy a seperate buy to let and leave her out of it especially if you think your relationship is doomed. Seems very odd to buy then say you don't think you'll stay together.

    You CANNOT give the tenants one months notice, no matter how reasonable they are. It would be perfectly reasonable of them to stay for 2 months after an S21, AS THAT IS THE LAW.

    If your relationship is a bit precarious, this plan has disaster written all over it.

    You have a very weird way of looking at things or the tone of my posts is misconstruing something (both I suggest).
    My partner can't keep her place if she moves in with me unless I help her.
    If things don't work out then her having a ready and waiting (albeit delayed by the duration tenants stay) place that she likes is good for all concerned. Some/much of what I've said does benefit me - absolutely, I struggle to think of anything that benefits me solely.
    I'm not altruistic, no body is. If you can't see how this benefits my child and partner then you have definitely misunderstood the situation.

    Remember we both want to live together in a bigger house, she wants to keep this house but can't do both unless I get involved.

    You're invoking /quoting the law, why? If a tenant says I'm cool to leave at a weeks notice and then I ask them to and they leave then NO LAW HAS BEEN BROKEN!!!!

    If they say no then that's a different situation - as I mentioned already - I know of no first hand situation where a tenant asked to leave their room has turned around and said no, I'm not budging for 6 months. Of course it happens, but it is not the norm.

    And yes the relationship is a little strained at times but absolutely good enough for us both to want to continue living together and make a bigger house our new home. Nobody in their right mind would throw in the towel at this stage and we're both agreed on the move.

    I think you need to sort your relationship !!!! out before even contemplating any of these plans.
