they don't talk to me its just letters. Been in the property 20 years. I would expect better you reap what you sew with people.

If you've been in the property 20 years they should if they're decent negotiate an acceptable date for you to leave.

It's not meant to be a nasty process most landlords are decent and will negotiate. They've most probably just come to the end of the time that they want to own the property and move on.

It doesn't need to be in 2 months. They might agree to you leaving in 4 months maybe more. You've been there a while I would accept that if you had been my tenant for 20 years.

They aren't too good, wouldn't do repairs, asked me to go didn't say why etc. not easy to negotiate with always write letters. Thanks for help.

You stayed there 20 years so they must have done at least something that was worth putting up with.

It depends on how much long want to hold on this property for. You will have to leave at some point but you can drag this out for quite a long time.

The only advice that I can really give is to actively search for a new home. The sooner you find a new home the more chance you can avoid court costs. If you can find somewhere but can't move until after the notice has expired then talk to your landlord to prevent court action from starting.

yes it wasn't too bad for some years recently things went downhill with the repairs didn't want to do anything, As I said its an agency and they just send out letters. Not easy to talk to them.

An agency....is that a letting agent with a shop front.

They are much easier to talk to than the usually difficult to contact landlord. You can choose to pay your rent each month at the agency and during that transaction you can speak with them every month. You can discover quite a lot by talking.

Go and have a chat. You'll need their help finding somewhere else. They might even waive the fees on another property they have as they know you already. They know your payment history and you as a tenant. There's no point doing references as they would just be asking themselves as the previous landlords agent. They shouldn't charge you for that.

Did you ever find out if you had been issued a Section 20 back in 1996?

Could you answer this question OP? It might help with the replies.

Was it a proper S21? To me it sounds like they don't really know what they are doing.

Your post is a little confusing. Could you list exactly what you have received and when? Some more full stops would help perhaps.

Unless I've missed it, you still have not answered this post?

You say 'proper letter' but that is not the same as 'proper S21 Notice'.

No one can give you proper advice, without proper information.

* what have you received (each bit of paper)
* date each one received
* method received
* exactly what each one says, including exact date you are told to leave, on each)

Also give us an idea what you want to do eg

* leave before the date they want you to?
* leave on the date they want you to?
* leave after the date they want you to?
* stay as long as possible?

Tell us also about the tenancy you have:

* original exact start date
* AST or some other tenancy?
* date you last signed a contract/fixed term
* length of that fixed term (or end date)

Finally, have you paid a deposit? If yes

* is it registered?
* which scheme (have you checked?)
* date it was paid & date it was registered?

Once you answer ALL the above, (please - not a long essay, just simple answers to each question) we can advise you.

I didn't know I had to reply to the first one! I was suprised to get another one asking me to respond.

that is not the answer to the question I asked. It will help us all to help you if you would please list out what you want to know, not give one line responses

see the list of questions posted by GM as without that level of info it is rather a waste of your and our time commenting in a piecemeal fashion

you are angry, you have lived there 20 years, but we are not mind readers and do not know, unless you tell us in clear terms, what you want to do about your current situation as the past is the past

So, why haven't you acted on the advice given in your last thread and found out what type of tenancy you have?

As was explained in your last thread, what can or cannot be done, depends on exactly which type of tenancy you have.

You're really not helping yourself, and the good people here cannot advise you without this information.
