It doesn't give you 2 months notice. Do nothing. Don't tell them it's invalid, they will simply serve a valid notice sooner....

They are saying they don't want to play.

Talk to a broker about a more flexible lender.

[theartfullodger]

Be pleased they didn't move in, no money, no rent paid & you with a 7-9 month eviction fight. You got off cheap!

Property does not always go up.

If I were starting now I'd probably avoid BTL.

Good luck anyway.

If there is an equal break clause for tenant yes you could use an s21 to invoke it (see... Aylward v Fawaz (1996) )

See what happens with s8 hearing today, if thrown out you might be best to go with s21 TO INVOKE BREAK CLAUSE.

Google N244 guidance

Our government has been seriously cutting back on court numbers and court funding: Consequences obvious. I'd be surprised if you got any real help on that number, it's your job to know what to do.

- ensure any solicitor you speak to understands the rather speciaist area of tenancy guarantors.

Sorry this has happened.

Any such payment if not protected (perhaps only in part) might breach deposit protection law and mean an s21 is invalid and possible claim for up to 3x breached amount.

That seems to rule out TVs and radios barely audible outside the property. Bonkers.

Still open to tenant (or his legal adviser..) who may be viewing this thread to raise repair issues: Which will likely bring adjournment/further investigation or case chucked out.

See from the experts here......

Get a better solicitor.

You turn up, ideally with witness, knock loudly, wait a minute, knock loudly bargain, wait again, if no answer let yourself in, loud hello. If asked to leave do so: calm & polite

Think you are correct. I'd probably write/email back thanking them for their kind offer but asking where on the signed agreement they have the right to enforce increase.

Suspect many agents will try this, quite a few landlords will simply agree, due to banning of fees:

There's very little money in legal aid work (government keeps cutting back.. ). They are perfectly entitled to decline your request. You are perfectly entitled to pay yourself & then may get a more effective service.

Oh gawd think I'll top meeself...

Do nothing, don't renew, just continue as perioidic, more flexibility to evict for landlord....
