Ending Tenancy Without Notice

I’m sure he letting agent will be in contact with you in due course.

You don’t have to move out at the end of the tenancy, the landlord has to ask you to leave or have to say you are going to leave. I cbf to get the correct legal terms but having worked in property it’s what I know.

I would however do something about your landlord. Speak to him or something..... might save you having to leave! NEGOTIATE. Perhaps get a meeting with the landlord, agent and yourself. Annoying but do you like the place?

Well, what is your ideal outcome?


* you just want to leave - giving the LL as much agro as possible in revenge?
* you just want to leave -with as little hassle as possible?
* you'd like to stay, but with the LL behaving in a more professional (ie 'hands-off') manner - leaving you to live there in peace?


The answer to the above will dictate the best course of action!

I want to leave, I caught him in the garden again today and confronted him. Unfortuately I had just been out there to put some washing up so it wasn't locked like I normally do now. He didn't seem too bothered and there was no apology or care that he was essentially trespassing.

I am going to contact a local councillor now (as per the gov website) - he is one himself. - so maybe hearing from another councillor he will stop so I can have peace for the last 4 months.

What did you say to him?

If I were you I would write a letter telling him that his frequent visits to the property are violating your right to quiet enjoyment and that you require him to stop and to only attend the property or the garden when it is absolutely necessary and only by prior arrangement with you. Inform him that if he does not comply with this then you will seek advice as to whether his behaviour constitutes harassment.

He has already been given a letter that says pretty much that and the letting agency he pays also has written to him and spoken to him via the phone.


I didn't know it was him at first so asked what he was doing in the garden, then realising it was him said - We have written to you and spoken to the letting agency about this issue (among many others) - told him to leave and to give 24 hours notice of his intention to show up and to knock on the door first. He said "ok" then left. He didn't really allow me to talk to him properly. I was pretty calm about it. Think he was surprised I was in.


So on the gov site it says to contact a councillor next.



Seeing as he has been doing this for many years, the next person moving in here is going to have the same problem. I don't think this guy gets he can't just do what he has been doing.
