Section 21 have you got the letter?

I was asking whether or not it was normal to be asked to say I received the notice and why it has been pushed back a month now I know what type of tenancy I have.

And what type of tenancy is that?

Yes it's normal.

I answered the second part in my first response to you. They may not have obtained proof of serving the notice to you so just started again. You do not need to be out on the date they say you must leave, you can leave at any time with mutual agreement.

Yes fairly normal. Legally required? No.

Why pushed back? How can we know? we can conjecture, but as I explained in detail earlier, it's pointless doins so unless you provide proper information.

Like, for example, what type of tenancy you have which you claim now to know.

Providing answers to questions people pose serves two functions

1) enables people to advise you properly

2) maintains a friendly (and polite) relationship between yourself and posters who take the time and trouble to respond

it was a 6 month one then went to periodic.

which does not really answer the question (though I'd hazard a guess that it's an assured shorthold tenancy).

There were also a number of other questions in my post (19).

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.

Yes deposit is protected. I have proof. 1996 the tenancy started in August that year. Not signed anything since then. Proper notice received one through door and one recorded delivery. 15th June then 15 july. Giving me notice to leave. Leave on those dates.

Not sure what I want to do, go when I'm ready I guess.

It's a notice that the landlord is seeking possession.

You must talk to the landlord and come to a mutually agreeable date to leave. You can leave at any time if you can come to an agreement.

So the question again as G_M has asked. What do you want to do? Leave now (within a month), soon (within 2 months) or later (within about 4 months) or stay as long as possible (probably 6 months or so). You can stretch it out to 6 months if you want without too much difficulty. If you want to stay longer it will be stressful but it can be done by frustrating the procedure as late as possible at every stage so that notice has to be issued again. To do that you need to answer the questions as posted earlier.

leave when I'm ready, the question was about the letter though and why they are so bothered whether or not I have received it.
