Reply to S21 served during replacement tenancy

by DoricPixie

The landlord might be expecting you to leave but he’s on a hiding to nothing as you have just signed a new fixed term contract (another 12 months) and even with the break clause the Section 21 notice is not valid.

If on the other hand a Section 8 using ground 1 had been served instead...

S21 served during replacement tenancy

by Andyhambwa

Hi,

We were renting since June 2021 for a year and just recently signed tenancy agreement for another year. A week after that we received s21 from our landlord with 2 months notice.

Our tenancy agreement contains a break clause which mentions period after 4 months of the initial...

Reply to S21 served during replacement tenancy

by Andyhambwa

I completely understand that and will do, what I don't understand however is how come this can be served out of the blue and we are expected to leave within 2 months during summer time, just right after a new contract was signed for another year? We may be busy, absent, already have plans, 2 months...

by ash72

You are within your rights to live there until the tenancy ends, either you providing notice to your LL or your LL serving a valid notice to end your tenancy. If I were in your shoes, I would start to look for another place, as if your LL is returning back eventually they will want their property back...

I can send you a "notice" that you must give me £10,000 in 2 months time. Doesn't mean it has any legal effect. The same with an invalid notice.

Reply to S21 served during replacement tenancy

by Andyhambwa

Rents were always paid in time, reason provided is that they are relocating back to UK and need the flat back. My question also is: How is something like this legal when a new contract was signed and has only just started?...

The S21 is not valid, was there a reason why the LL has served a notice? The LL could serve a Section 8 notice depending on the grounds.

Reply to Tenant's wife changed locks and refused to hand over key to letting agent

by AndrewDod

As an aside, what is to stop the OP simply moving into the house (to live) possibly with the wife (and a few mates) once the husband has left?

Tenant's wife changed locks and refused to hand over key to letting agent

by bombata

Hi,

I have been renting a house to a couple for the past two years. Only the husband is on the tenancy agreement as the sole tenant. His wife just lived with him and does not work.
They decided to divorce- and it's messy they are not speaking to one another. The husband moved out...
