Landlord wants to evict me and move back in!

To save others time there is no break clause

lol this amused me, thanks :rotfl:

I'm serious.

Given the wording in the contract I immediately add 20%- really cheeky.

I'd say a reasonable sum would be fees- £300, moving costs £400, 6x month rent + return of deposit ofcourse

Edit: apologies was counting from today so to move out in April - 3x month rent

Regrettably we will have to return back to the UK soon as circumstances have changed. Our son who lives here with us and his wife are expecting a baby at the beginning of April and therefore we have all decided to move back and occupy the property.

Don't sound thrilled about the prospect of becoming grandparents do they? :rotfl:
If the baby is due in three months then presumably they've know about it for a while and could have found alternative accommodation in the UK, if they really need to come back.
Don't let them guilt trip you with their sob story.

Before I remembered about this great site! I contacted three solicitors this morning, one of them have just come back to me.

"I think you need to come in and see me.
From the tenancy agreement they appear to give you notice under Clause 50.3
There are issues with whether that constitutes Notice of the relevant Ground of Part 1 of Schedule 2 of the Housing Act 1988.
If it does then there is an issue with whether the Notice was given prior to you entering into the tenancy.
And thirdly the Housing Act prevents the court from granting a possession order on that ground during the fixed term of the tenancy.
You may be able to persuade the landlord to “buy you out” of the tenancy – it really depends on how much they want the house back.
Please contact me if you wish to make an appointment."

He told you all you needed to know. The rest is fishing for fees...

Well there you go. No need to go and see him, he's just told you everything you need to know.

An amount to add to any financial agreement to move early : They may have to pay considerable fees for a birth, if the child has to be born abroad, as they can't move here. (Perhaps our NHS is the reason they wish to return, then go back when it suits.)


The language used and the informal way of 'giving notice' gives the impression that the landlord is an amateur, who doesn't know the rules.
