Letting off steam

[tkpm]

They have to give at least six weeks (some places its 3 months) notice to leave and it must be in writing. sometimes if your ask to leave before your tenancy finish, you can claim moving cost against your landlord/letting agency.

I would talk to your Landlandy and tell her that as the house is up for sale and you have the opportunity to go elsewhere you will be moving out.I would likely suspect you would have to give 4 weeks notice but you could probably dispute this as she put the house up for sale without notifying you.Then move out and she will be an extra 490quid out of pocket per month until the house is sold
Sorry had the same situation here and the new owner wanted to increase the rent instantly .

cheers for the help, my wife was in tears last night saying that she does not want to live here anymore were both quite scared as balifs could come at anytime and if were in work they could get access to the house. plus it could get reposesses.

plus that £490 a month apparently does not even touch the morgage on the house so she must be in Debt and over morgaged up to her eyeballs.

Bailiffs are not allowed to force their way in to a property.I have had dealings with them and they use the fact that most people are not aware of the law and the powers they have.
Your contract is with the letting agent and they should be able to advise you,if not take the other house from you friends and stuff the landlord.

my Boss has just informed me:
In the contract it says "to leave the tennant have a peacefull time in the house" and apparently they have breeched that allready as we have had baliffs, etc knocking at our door.

Ahhhh

Thanks for all the support.

Nice one, seek proper legal advice from an uninterested third party for peace of mind.
