Landlord Notice

sotonkona

I mean that we aren't planning on handing our notice in but don't agree to the terms that the LL is suggesting with the rent increase. We will happily stay until the contract is changed, but the LL will most likely want us out as soon after the fixed term in our to get the cash he so desperately needs.

We have 1 month left on our fixed term, can he serve us 2 months notice now or does he have to wait until the end of the tenancy?

We will happily stay until the contract is changed - seriously? your contract cannot be changed, unless you agree! , but the LL will most likely want us out as soon after the fixed term in our to get the cash he so desperately needs. - so let him evict you!

He can serve it now. It doesn't mean anything!

Well this one was trying to commit mortgage fraud so my sympathy is with the tenant here

* you can leave on the last day of the fixed term, without notice

* the landlord cannot force you to leave at any time - only a court can do that

* but you and the LL can agree to end the tenancy whenever you wish- provided the agreemet is mutual.

* if the LL wants you to leave, he must serve you a S21 Notice, giving you 2 months notice, after which he can, if he wants, apply to court - you do not have to leave when the 2 months notice on the S21 expires.

See

* Ending/renewing an AST: what happens when a fixed term ends? How can a LL or tenant end a tenancy? What is a periodic tenancy?

If the LL wants you to leave, hes going to have to pay you to do so.
Avg eviction times are 6-9 months

Spoken like a 'TRUE' nightmare DSS tenant who pockets the rent money and stops paying Rent to the LL.

Then waits for the LL to go through the anguish of the broken court system paying thousands in legal costs to get them out.

Its people like you that spoil it for the rest of the decent tenets and why private LL run at the first mention of DSS.

If the LL wants you to move then he has every right, its HIS property and if you are a good tenant and up to date with the rent, there is NO good reason why you cannot find another property to rent within the S21 notice period of 2 months..

2: Being legally evicted is a right, and LLs responsibility.
3: DSS doesn't exist...
4: shush now, the adults are talking...

Then waits for the LL to go through the anguish of the broken court system paying thousands in legal costs to get them out. - £315, nowhere near thousands.

Its people like you that spoil it for the rest of the decent tenets and why private LL run at the first mention of DSS. - Literally not a clue what tenets have to do with this?

If the LL wants you to move then he has every right, its HIS property - No, you ignorant little boy. It's the tenants property. and if you are a good tenant and up to date with the rent, there is NO good reason why you cannot find another property to rent within the S21 notice period of 2 months..

I saw you on the employment board, you weren't much better there either. Hopefully your appearance on this site will be short and sweet.


You have absolutely no understanding of the law.


(a s.21 notice does not end a tenancy, a tenant cannot simply leave and stop paying rent; they must serve their own notice)

LOL.


Proves my point perfectly.


s21 - IS simply asking the tenant to leave. Nothing to do ending anything.


The point was trying to make was - 'that the LL wants you out regardless of the reason' and he issues you a s21 a notice that he WOULD LIKE his property back.


If you are a 'Normal' tenant there is no reason why you cannot find somewhere else to move to within that time.


Why does it have to become come a fight.

Nothing to do ending anything. - No it's not. a s.21 says, in laymans (to help you understand) - "I, the LL, am thinking of ending this tenancy, so here is notice that after two month I may or may not decide to go to court to ask them to end this tenancy"


NOWHERE DOES IT SAY YOU CAN OR MUST LEAVE


The point was trying to make was - 'that the LL wants you out regardless of the reason' and he issues you a s21 a notice that he WOULD LIKE his property back. - no, see above.


If you are a 'Normal' tenant there is no reason why you cannot find somewhere else to move to within that time. - nor do you have to

it's not a fight. It's a simple thing.


ONLY two entities can legally end a tenancy, a tenant and a court.


That is the law. Don't like it? Write to your MP, or don't be a landlord.
