    Hi. Those conditions quoted by the landlord are normal for an AST, and by putting the apartment on AIRBNB they have been contravened. I would strike up a dialogue with them explaining your circumstances, and eat humble pie. If you can, make the effort to go to the office of the managing agent - face to face counts for a lot. Also get the apartment off AIRBNB immediately. Claiming ignorance of what has happened will not go down well so don't make a big thing of the "I didn't know it was happening" angle. It's quite possible another occupant in the block may have reported some unusual comings and goings which has prompted this action. Above all, do not ignore the issue.

    The important point here is that even if that s21 is invalid they are going to get it right eventually and you are going to have to move so rather than using energy trying to find out if this s21 is invalid you would be better spending your time finding somewhere to move to.

    What you don't seem to understand is that you will not be staying there. So if you have sublet the flat you need to give notice to your tenant that their tenancy will end on the same day as yours so they need to start to look for somewhere else as well.
    Did you mean to quote me and then reply as if talking to me? Only I don't live there, I don't know the OP at all :T

    No I didn't. I did it in a hurry this morning it was all aimed at the OP.

    I saw a programme about this air bnb. Some people were renting out their rented properties and (given that places in London can go for thousands a week) tenants could afford to move out and have a holiday abroad in the sun
