    The tenancy contract renewed each year, so I think its an AST.
    I will check in the contract whether the deposit was protected or not.
    Also will check what kind of notice it was.


    Have read some more information here:

    Check the schemes, the contract wont tell you if it actually happened

    I forgot to add, both parents are under medical treatment. One of them has a heart procedure scheduled soon. There could not be a worse time to evict ...

    Like I said it's not going to happen for a while, but best to start getting your ducks in a row. To start with, look on rightmove for suitable properties.

    Already got that going but am nervous about them having to fight their case for extension in court. They arent in a position to fight anymore - old and frail describes them well right now.

    They have no case for an extension.


    But court takes time. It's not just turn up and get seen

    DEPOSIT - In the contract is says "Deposit shall be held by the Landlord's agent, as stakeholder, as security for non-compliance by the Tenant with the Tenant's obligations under this agreement. The Landlord's Agent is a member of the Tenancy Deposit Scheme ("TDS")."
