    Okay, thanks for that Comms. At what stage would I need to respond? Will it be when the S21 is issued?

    Literally never; if you don't want to.

    Thank you Comms. I now have to reply to the email the LL sent me last night. He reiterated that tenancy ends on 31st March and that they gave me sufficient notice. He wrote that I have been a great tenant and they've done all they can for me but can't extend my contract and expect me to leave.

    How should I word a reply?
    A less nice person than you, (e.g. me) would use the reply given in Arkell vs. Pressdram (google it for a giggle).

    Don't think the LL deserves that tbh.


    If they start getting funny then sure, but at the minute it's just a complicated set of circumstances

    If you really want to respond to your landlord you could do worse than direct him towards G_M's guide to 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? link given you you in post #3.

    Thanks, yes I saw that link. I'll have a good read of it. :)

    I'll have a read of it anyway, just to addle my brain even more than it is!

    Everyone has been so kind in giving their advice. I can't thank you enough.

    I'd be really grateful if I can carry on asking for your advice to steer me through all this if I need to.

    Thank you again :)

    I'm surprised no ones asked you this yet, but have you checked your deposit was correctly protected?

    I was told by the property agent that the LL sometimes uses to renew the tenancy, that they hadn't placed my deposit in a properly secured scheme. He had advised them to do this in March 2018 but I've had no correspondence telling me where it is and what scheme is being used.

    Great point by Fairy Lights; check the 3 schemes - links in G_Ms thread
