Eviction notice

moneysavinmonkey

OP you need to let it go. It's good that you are getting your frustrations out here, but it's time now to move on, your attitude is only hurting yourself. If you go down the route of not paying rent all that will happen is you will get evicted, if you don't leave when your supposed to then you'll end up paying the landlord additional costs in court + you will have wasted your time and energy.

As far as i can see the landlord has done nothing illegal or immoral. They have given you plenty of time to find a new 'home'. If you are renting a place and have not bought it then you can not reasonably expect to be allowed to have the right to live there as long as you want. If that annoys you, and to be honest it does annoy me a bit, then write to your MP or the housing minister - they are the ones that changed the rules to make it easier for landlords.

I don't understand why you are so upset about this? Is there a shortage of affordable housing to rent in your area? Have you got no money for a deposit on the next place? Have you notified the local council of your situation so you get bumped up the housing list?? Let us know what the real problem is and we will do our best to help.

You're not being chucked out on the street. This is just emotive language. You are being given notice to find somewhere else to live. It happens to all us tenants, at some point.



And you are not judging the Landlord? I know you don't like it but ... this is their property. Morals don't enter in to it. If they act legally, then that's all they need to do. Those same laws give you rights ... albeit, not the "rights" you wish they did.

And if I do not find anywhere to live? I will be on the street. . I also have 2 dogs, so finding somewhere is going to be very difficult. And I strongly refute that it happens to ALL tenants at some point.

Of course I am judging the landlord. This is quite easy when I know him and his actions pertain to me.

Have I offended you? You seem quite intent on having an argument. Your other post about "does that answer your question" seemed a little aggressive, but I could make head nor tail of it so I just let it go.

I have been served notice 3 times now in the last 4 years... It's pretty common that the landlord wants to redevelop, sell up, move in themselves, move their relative in etc. etc. Since the tenancy laws changed then someone on a whole of life tenancy is going to be very very rare!

You've been very lucky to have had secure accommodation for such a long time!

Some come on, you've had notice now so you are going to have to move - let's all put our efforts into that!

I would not say I was too upset by this . I think I am a little peeved at SOME of the posters on here who see tenants as nothing more than cash cows, being milked until it is time for slaughter. And I strongly object to them trying to force their awful morals on me.

Don't worry about the money, they are getting no more and nothing else will happen about it. Promise.

There is a massive shortage of affordable housing.

I went to see the housing assoc ( I can afford a decent house, with deposit, but would like to keep my dogs) and they told me 12 months at least.

Such is life. I am not too upset by the situation, I am upset that others can view, and treat, another so lowly.

Thanks for your post.:D

My, you have been unlucky.

I know I have to move, I was just seeing how long I had in reality.

Thanks for the gee up.:D

I have three (is this a p!$$ing contest? ) and I signed a new AST for 12 months, for the first time in August. So it can be done.

And I strongly refute that it happens to ALL tenants at some point.

If it hasn't happened yet, then it can happen at any time. As a tenant, you only can be sure that you have the right to occupy the property during the fixed term stated in the contract. After that, you only have the rights given to you at law - as does the LL.

Of course I am judging the landlord. This is quite easy when I know him and his actions pertain to me.

From what you say, it's a company. So the LL's actions are those of the Board of Directors or their delegates. I know you don't like it, but companies make decisions like this based on business i.e. what will return a profit and what will return something for the shareholders.

Have I offended you?

Not in the least. What would I be offended about?

Believe it or not, I am trying to help you deal with the reality and the legalities of your situation. You might choose to take the moral highground, but this won't cut the mustard with the Courts, which is where your Landlord is likely to go.

Do you really want to be evicted by Court appointed bailiffs? Do you realise that if you pursue this course of action, that you will have minutes to gather your personal possessions before the property is secured and the locks are changed?

You seem quite intent on having an argument.

Not for the sake of it - simply to inform you that the position you are choosing to adopt will not, ultimately, be to your benefit. If you know this, then sure ... I am wasting my time But others reading this thread might find it of interest, or to their benefit.

Your other post about "does that answer your question" seemed a little aggressive, but I could make head nor tail of it so I just let it go.

You wanted to know if we were bad or good landlords. I simply confirmed my position ... I am not a landlord. I am a tenant. And at some point, I could find myself in your position. If so, I shall know "the lie of the land".

You are unlikely to take any advice from me at all - that is your choice. But if I were you, I'd be diverting my energy and time in to finding some alternative accommodation. That really is your only option. You are not going to win the right to stay in this property - simply because, legally, you have no right to do so.

Fair enough DFC

But I know I have to leave, and will be out of there way before the bailiffs are needed.:D

EDIT. Where did you find a landlord who takes dogs?

Ignored any adverts that said "no dogs" and negotiated with the LL/Agent.

Mine are ..... 9 yo Lab, 3 yo ESS and 6 month old Rottador. They are never alone in the house, which might help . They either go to work with my partner or they are with me, when I work from home. They are also confined to the utility room. And they are working dogs .... so quite well trained ... they don't "cross the line" between the utility room and the kitchen ... it's just what they've been trained to do.

Nevertheless ... our tenancy agreement states that the house will be professionally cleaned, when we vacate. I don't think this will be necessary, although I am amazed at the dog hair we walk into those parts of the house that the dogs are not allowed into!! :mad: :mad: So, I can understand this.

I think LLs who do not own dogs are (understandably) nervous at the prospect of dogs being allowed to "roam free" through the house. If you build up a rapport/credibility with the LL/Agent you will be a better position to negotiate. Demonstrate that you are a good tenant first .... then deal with the dog issue. Hook 'em in first

Thanks for the advice. how did you get in touch with the LL? Any decent property I have seen is through an agency.

I have two Bullmastiffs. (gulp)
