Unfairly treated as a tenant, do I have rights?

If mother were the LL, then, since she lives abroad, the OP would be required to deduct the income tax payable, and pay it over-including the arrears. It's fairly obvious that ma is not declaring it.
So in this case it's probably better that she is a lodger with no rights to speak of.
OP: it's perfectly possible to be the LL without actually owning the property.

Only if you pay rent directly to the LL. Otherwise the 'agent', her son, would be responsible for that.

I moved in with my partner and another housemate last year in a shared house. The house is owned by my partners mother (she doesn't live there). Me and the housemate pay rent every month and my partner only pays bills. I recently found out something she was doing that meant either her, or me and the other housemate could be liable financially (I won't go into it too much for legal reasoning).

After I informed her of this, and explained she would need to contact the correct authorities, She's blocked my phone number, told her son she wants me out of the house. He told me on the 8th August and a months notice would be the 8th of September. I've been told I need to be out by the 2nd as that's when I payed my rent to. I haven't received any written or verbal notice directly from her and she's passed on that she wants the keys back tomorrow.
I've been a good tenant. I looked after the home. Paid my rent on time everytime. Not caused any noise or trouble. I feel like I've been unfairly kicked out.
Luckily me and partner were looking for somewhere else from the moment he informed me she wants me out, so we are in the process of moving into somewhere else.
The only problem is I didn't sign any written agreement when I moved in as I was told I don't really need to. Do I have any rights and has she done things properly?

Why are you even thinking of moving to a different place with your "partner" who kicks you out of his bed when his sister comes to stay so she can share it with him? As we established in your previous thread, it's his idea that they should sleep together, not hers :eek: He has no respect for you...

The last thing you want to do is enter into a proper tenancy agreement (which you would then not be able to get out of easily) with this excuse for a man.

If any of this is true, run away.

Highly unlikely IMO
