I will start by saying sorry...I have started the thread in here as I know there are loads of people who read here and I need help quick..
My mum is 73yrs old and lives in a one bed, one lounge/kitchen, bathroom hovel flat. To gain access she has to climb a number of stairs, there are 4 different flats in the block old shop with various different tenants or varying ages. Mum has been there 2yrs.
In Feb 15 she put her name on the council list, in the slim hope of getting a small bungalow, somewhere she can finally call home and relax.
She has been short listed and a bungalow has come up, the housing lady came to see mum today and filled in a form, after which she took mum and I to the bungalow to have a look around. I have never seen mum so happy, the lady said, subject to refs, she could have the keys this Wed and the tenancy would start on Monday 6th.
She was told she was 'in the running' on 19th June, the day before she was due to go on holiday, she was also due to pay her rent that day, so on my advice we left a note saying mum had possibly been offered a place and would be leaving and left two weeks rent instead of a full month. This was picked up and a receipt left.
Today mum has rang the landlord and he is demanding she give a months notice (as he cant afford to not have tenants in two of his properties) we have read her tenancy agreement and it was a contract for 6months, she has been there two years, the landlord can give her two weeks notice, but she has to give a month.
She was never asked to pay a deposit and has to pay her rent via cheques as the landlord refuses to give mum his bank details..
So can she say that letter was two weeks notice and leave on Monday??
