    Indeed, if they haven't served you with a S21, it might because they are hoping that the sell will attract another LL who would be happy to keep you if the current LL confirms you have been an excellent tenant.

    Unfortunately, for the same reasons more and more LL opt to sell, less and less investors are interested in property, but hey, it's great because there will be more properties available for residential mortgage. Too bad for those who can't afford to become owners and had no issues renting from a good LL.

    We would have asked the police to attend because of the nature of the tenant.
    I don't think this applies to the OP!



    Actually if the bailiff's can't get he tenant to leave, the police can move the tenant physically, as long as the bailiff's have a Possession order

    thankyou for the replies, i need to have a proper look at this.

    Just to clarify, there is no problem / agro between me and landlord / agents. They simply have decided to sell. I have a house bought in place, and i obviously want to get in there before my time here runs out. The process has started pretty much as of this week and I hope I can get it done and moved in, within 8 to 10 weeks. Hope, of course

    I am on a 12 month contract, which goes automatically to 1 month rolling contract as of November 10th. So i believe they still need to give me notice. I really do not want to go down the staying put whilst out of contract route

    Property takes time to sell. In your interest to be mutually cooperative with the LL. Then you can time your exit.

    You don't have to stay until they give you 2 months...remember that if your house completes earlier you only need to give the one month notice...

    It does sound as if you may be able to juggle the move on well and at the moment there would be no need to consider eviction as such.

    Try and keep your LL up to date with your progress in the hope that they keep you updated with theirs and hopefully everything remains amicable

    Keep pushing your solicitor or whomever is dealing with your house move it's always better to be the one who is able to leave the rental first as it saves you needing to arrange somewhere temporary if the sale of where you are now goes through super quickly.

    I read that it rolls over to periodic when the contract ends.

    I think that is true unless you are informed to the contrary, as it is I would think that if your term is fixed from the outset then that may not be the case.

    There is no "unless," it rolls over- end of.

    Alter ego...I think I get what mrs bradley is trying to say...and it might have been what I was implying earlier also...

    As the tenancy has not yet come to an end...the OP has the right to leave on the last day of the tenancy...otherwise yes if they stay it automatically becomes rolling.

    Perhaps we just arn't reading echothers comments in the way they were intended....
    I'm not out to challenge you..sometimes the spoken word flows easier than the written one!

    Yes it has changed- it used to be routine to give a Section 21 at the same time as a fixed term. Now you have to do it least 4 months into the tenancy.

    Hi Thrugelmir and LEJC, thankyou. You've judged as it seems be. i am on good terms with my current LL i'll keep talking to them. If there are no spanner in the works i think i can get out of here before they really do want it back. Big "if" though. I'm in a chain of just one, and the people i am buying from have found a property (ie with no further chain up) and had their offer accepted
