It'll all have been sorted and squared away an hour ago, and we'll not get another update because there'll be nothing to say. Yes that's how it is.

Landlord may still take ground 11 to court. Read the legislation.
https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1988/50/schedule/2/part/II/crossheading/ground-11
""" Ground 11Whether or not any rent is in arrears on the date on which proceedings for possession are begun, the tenant has persistently delayed paying rent which has become lawfully due. """"
Unlikely to get possession order, but might. Judge's discretion.0 -
I wouldn't as they might then serve the Sec 21, as it stands providing she makes a payment to cover the arears and keeps the rent up to date any sec 8 will probably fail should it go to court.Standingstrong said:
Does she mention this to them?Robbo66 said:Any agent or landlord worth their salt would have served a Section 21 alongside the section 8. If the section 8 fails or becomes void they can then fall back to the Sec 21. Also re the G17, G 12 would have been a better option, still discretional but a better bet.0 -
Ah I missed when the tenancy started when I posted_Penny_Dreadful said:
It’s too early for the landlord to serve a Section 21 because the fixed term ends in November. Any Section 21 served now wouldn’t be valid.Robbo66 said:Any agent or landlord worth their salt would have served a Section 21 alongside the section 8.

I've been hoping that the OP was going to return to this one today with a "and it all ended up happily ever after" conclusion, but I see not so far. Still, it leaves plenty of time to read some of their other threads...

The girl then said
The investigation relates to the referencing information received.
You are contractually obliged to make your rent payments in line with your tenancy agreement. I will inform the landlord that the rent will be with them in 3-5 days from our account.
Are you going to be able to maintain rent payments thereafter?
