How much notice does landlord need to give to vacate rented property

spaced1981

To be fare, when I looked into this I found different advice.

The link above on the gov website does state 2 months. However when I searched on citizens advice it suggested 28 days (I can't post links but google "if your landlord wants you to leave citizens advice" it appears about 5th page in results).

I am in the process of trying to contact citizens advice to clarify the information on their website.

That's an Irish site and not Citizens advice but a different organisation called Citizens information, therefore not applicable in this case.

2 months is the minimum notice period a LL must give.

Is this good advice?

OP may be in the right legally speaking but shutting down communication completely does not seem a fair way to treat the landlord, particularly if landlord has been decent over the years until now and may have sent this notice to quit in ignorance of his/her legal obligations (not an excuse, I know).

Personally if you are a landlord you should at least know the basics, it's not all deciding one day to make money by renting out of a house, I'm in the option of saying nothing giving you longer to look.

No one has raised the possibility that this is a Contractual Periodic Tenancy.

OP - read your tenancy agreement:

1) what does it say, if anything, will happen at the end of the 3 year fixed term?

2) what does it say, if anything, about notice to end the tenancy during any CPT that follows the fixed term?

Tenancies in Eng/Wales: Guides for landlords and tenants This thread is intended to provide information to both landlords and tenants relating to Assured Shorthold Tenancies (ASTs) in England and Wales.

Topics covered:

* Repairing Obligations: the law, common misconceptions, reporting/enforcing, retaliatory eviction & the new protection (2015)

* Deposits: payment, protection and return

* 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?

* Rent increases: when & how can rent be increased?

* Repossession: what if a LL's mortgage lender repossesses the property?

* New landlords: advice, information & links

* Letting agents: how should a landlord select or sack?



Plus - whatever the legal rights and wrongs, if the LL/tenant relationship is good, the tea/cake approach may be best (only the OP can judge).

ie a friendly chat and then agreement on a mutually convenient date to end the tenancy.

Interesting that you are so helpful with a renter who only has two children after being so snarky with one who has eight.

Hopefully danselnoir will return to the thread. I doubt it though.
