    Let me guess, you’re all art students?

    I reckon PPE, our future leaders.

    I was an art student, we always paid our rent.

    So, who would we report the new landlord to? would it be the police or the council?

    Another way to look at it is that if the contract is not valid, the landlord could have asked you to clear off at any time.

    Read the contract, it is telling you you have a contract with the landlord (person named) to rent a specific address. By your logic if your bank is sold / taken over by another bank then do they have to give you any money that's in your account (because you haven't signed an agreement with them) or do they have to honour any overdraft agreements you have because they didn't sign the agreement with you?

    The laws off this land are carefully written to accommodate such scenarios. You can fight them but it would cost a lot if you loose.

    I understand now that the contract is valid, but i want to know about the new landlord not sending the notice that they are ment to. i was reading about a section three notice and the new landlord says they delivered it but we didnt get it, so their going to get fined for it

    Glad all that education isn't going to waste it's they're and meant,

    Shouldn't think the police or council would be that interested, it'll come down to them saying they hand delivered it and you saying you didn't receive it, even if the landlord does get find then they don't hand that money over to you, you'll never see it. so what do you stand to gain, other than ruining your credit rating out of this?

    Judge Rinder is probably your best option

    In 10+ years of reading these and other property forums i have never seen or heard of anyone being fined for this. Enforcement of a fine in this case is in my opinion extremely unlikely it takes councils forever to deal with truly rogue landlords.

    In 2018 i attended court where i had delivered notices to a tenant by hand and by post at no point did the Judge check with me if i had proof of this. I had the evidence of course and i suspect your Landlord may well have it too but who really knows for sure its not exactly uncommon for housemates to open mail not understand it and throw it away.

    Anyway its clear you don't want to listen to our advice. Good luck with your life choices i suspect you may need it.

    Is English not your first language? It would explain a lot.
