Reply to Question about possible law action against my letting agency

by jpkeates

A closure order doesn't, by itself, end a tenancy.
It may be that such an order makes it reasonable for a landlord to evict someone (but I'm not sure of that either - unless the tenant was the cause of the closure order), but they're still stuck with the contract....

Go through lettings agent's complaints process then the relevant letting agent redress scheme.

Reply to Question about possible law action against my letting agency

by jpkeates

What agreement did you have with the letting agent?
Was there a tenancy agreement and were they the landlord?

A closure order doesn't change the contract that you have with the agent, so the contract you had is important in determining what right(s) you have.
