Witholding my rent AIBU

A 3 bed Victorian terrace in London for £1200
pcm rent? That’s insanely cheap. Withholding rent here is so shitty.

You cannot legally withhold rent.
As for your deposit, if it was protected you should have been given the info of who it was protected with within a certain time frame of signing your tenancy, I believe its within 14 days but could be wrong. If you don't have that info then request it, if it wasn't protected within the time frame then you are able to claim back more

If you rent a room in a shared house the only space your LL has to provide is your own room, shared bathroom and shared kitchen. They can provide more communal space but that is optional. If your LL is providing this and you are not paying your rent on time most months and no rent in August it will only be a matter of time before your LL gets a section 8 and you will be evicted. Regardless of your reasons for not paying your rent in time instead of contacting your LL and trying to reach an agreement on what you can pay and when, you unilaterally decide not to pay any rent at all. Your LL should have got your deposit protected. Provided it is protected before she goes for a section 8 there is nothing you can do. If you don't want eviction pay your rent. Your LL is not a charity and you will be causing her distress as she likely still has a mortgage to pay.

So when I went to citizens advice, she hadn't put it in otherwise i was told i would have been notified. However since I threatened her with this, knowing her personality a bit i think she might've panicked and done it later

I went into major depression/withdrawal, for some reason I'm able to switch it on at work and sell but when i'm at home i just collapse, i barely leave my room tbhi

You're making a lot of stuff up and saying a lot of things that aren't true.

Just because you don't like landlords doesn't mean the OP can't be chucked out for not paying rent. Yes she's got rights but so does the landlord and that is to be paid and on time.

No I'm not a landlord, no I don't own a home and never have. I've always rented.

And if she didn't pay my deposit into a TDS, (or I've got a feeling she panicked and she did but it was past the 30 days) can she still evict me?

I completely disagree. She doesnt have to move anywhere. She can take the LL to court for non protection of a tenancy deposit and possibly force the LL to need to sell the house to pay her the resulting fines. Thereby giving the op plenty of money to pay months of rent upfront and not need references. I guess it all depends on the ability of the op to be her own advocate and fight for her own mental health and wellbeing of being able yo enjoy get home without fear of harassment, which she is entitled to do and the LL currently isn't allowing by renting out to god only knows who whenever she feels like it. I know what i would do, because i did it. Don't be a LL if you're too lazy to know the law surrounding it because it can be a very costly mistake

It says this:

I signed the contract on 10/3/24, so 5 months ago, 6 months in September
