The timeline is also unclear. OP - please provide dates (exact dates if possible, otherwise best guess) for
* when original tenancy started
* if/when latest fixed term contract/renewal was signed
* when S21 was served
* when council enforcement notice was served on LL
* when work started
* when work finished
* whether work included gas report
* when court possession papers were received
* when court date is0 -
2013 Orignal contract Signed
May 2018 Recieved sec 21
July 18 Recieved phone call from LL informing me that "“I had some personal issues which I have now overcome, you are good tenants and I don’t want you to leave now”. The call was recorded, can this reset the clock?
July 18 Council send letters re disrepair, no gas safe etc
11/10/18 Recieved court papers (application for possession)
Please provide all dates.0 -
Are you still paying your rent in full since relying on housing benefit?0

Another angle then- the council served an improvement notice; which means no s.21.and all work was done. And then I receive the court papers to fill in.
Was the S21 served bfore or after the Enforcement Notice?
Before or after all work was done?0 -

Whereas the timing of the enforcement notice in relation to the S21 is certain.0 -

I think I prefer Mr Prichard's version above.
I admit I've only made a glancing comparison but think I've spotted a contradiction between them - and my feeling is it's nearlylegal that are wrong.
happy to be corected though as I'm tired!
where a tenancy started before Oct 2015:
* MarkPrichard jumps all the requirements relating to EPC, Gas report etc - ie they are not required in older tenancies for a s21 to be valid.
* nearlylegal appear to show that a S21 is invalid if there is no EPC etc, irrespective of the start date of the tenancy.
Views?
As I understand it that has now changed as of 1st October and ALL tenancies come under the revised S21 criteria irrespective of when the tenancy started0 -
