Why the bad news for landlords is just beginning

divorce rate is quite high in this country. imagine all the stress on the kids of having to move home and watch their parents fight over them. how does this compare to kids moving every so often as their landlord chucked them out?

It's worse I have first hand knowledge but it is irrelevant.

How many end of tenancy notices end in the courts.

Well there are only 2 ways to end a tenancy:


1: Tenant gives notice
2: the court grants possession


So....

Is that right nobody moves out when a section 21 is issued.

If the tenant doesn't give notice then the tenancy continues and they continue to be liable for rent.


a s.21 notice is notice of intention to go to court. So anyone who does move out, without giving the proper one months notice, is actually being foolish.

So technically right but I would have thought the majority do move when issued a section 21.

I don't get your point? So the majority of people don't properly end their tenancies - that doesn't change the legal position in anyway.

The point I was trying to make in reply another post that said 99.5% of renters are not evicted by the courts is that the majority of people told by their landlord that they want them out will move before it gets to court.

I could be wrong but I think they meant that 99.5% (it's actually more I think) aren't evicted in any given year


In either case, that's their choice, the law would protect them to some degree

Isn't that what I said and they would have to leave eventually.
