Hi,
I have been living in a flat which is subletted by an agency to my current landlady.
She has done many dodgy things. I found the place needing somewhere quick to move into through air bnb but stayed on and paid her weekly rent. I have been there since July 2nd but do not have a contract.
Last Monday she said we (other flatmates - some with contracts) had three and a half weeks to move out as she was handing the flat back to the agency. Is this legally enough notice we have been given?
Currently one of the showers hot water barely works and in the kitchen we can't open the door and window to outside so there is no fire safety escape.
There is no living room as that has been converted into another bedroom. She does alot of dodgy things and didn't put my flatmates deposits into the government deposit scheme. She also us subletting but I don't think it's her name on the flat.
She really doesn't have a clue what she is doing.
What are my legal rights in regards to being given less than a months notice and other things.
I pay my rent weekly and an tempted not to after her not bothering to fix things as hot water.
I have tried to ring shelter UK but they seem to be quite busy.
Thankyou all
