And possibly double rent as they have already given notice but would fail to move out by that date.macman said:Even if you have given notice, you don't have to move out on the 20th. You can sit and wait to be evicted, which at present will take many months to go through the courts. However this will involve you paying extra costs, as you will be liable for the LL's legal expenses.0 -
Correct. I wasn't recommending it as a course of action, but it is a possible one.grumiofoundation said:

To be honest our landlady has been really good to us and I am not someone who would sit in a house waiting to be evicted.macman said:Even if you have given notice, you don't have to move out on the 20th.
