My landlord want to sell the property(bungalow) that I live

[SilviyaDimitrova]

Hello, everyone I am a single mother with two children aged 2 and 3. my landlady has been selling the house for a year now, people and agents are constantly coming to look at it and take pictures. we have been living there for 3 years, at the beginning we had a contract for the first year, but we have not renewed it. they live in the house together 10 adults and 3 small children (a family with 3 children, 4 are new boys from yesterday and the rest of the boys who live there) I live in the yard of the house itself in a one-room bungalow. A week ago, my landlord told me that he would give me one month to leave, and I was a little shaken, because 3 weeks ago, the father of my children went to prison, and he was helping us even though we don't live together. I shared this with her. She started asking me what I'm going to do... the kids, you... rent. I said that I have money to pay her rent because I take universal credit. I also said where to go for a month? I have no savings. How can I find a place to live? Nobody gives property to people with benefits. then left. I don't know what rights I have, as I have an old contract, I did not give a deposit. and at the same time hires new tenants and charges them high rents. she also gave a month to the family with the children. the other thing i think is that he wants to evict us and bring in new tenants for more money. because she told two of the men who were in the same room to move out because she wants to give the room for more money. please advise me what to do

Call shelter

You need to call your local council in the morning and explain you are threatened with eviction with 56 days, and they should be able to tell you what support they can offer you.

The problem is if she’s been trying to sell a year did she give you notice before? Do you have any family who you can move in with? It doesn’t sound stable enough anyway, we lived waiting for the landlord to sell and it’s no way to live

Stay in the house and keep paying rent. She will have to go to court to get you evicted which takes ages. Of course, look for somewhere else and get registered with your council. You have more rights than her. The council might not have a place for you to stay until she hands you a court order notice to evict.

Call shelter to understand your rights and the council’s responsibility to you
Then call the council and explain.
As I understand it from people I work with, you need to wait to be evicted and then present as homeless. At which point you’ll be eligible for their help (such that it is).

Of course in the meantime look for somewhere to live but its slim pickings out there. You are protected because of the kids thoso the Council have a statutory obligation to house you if you can prove you have been evicted

Definitely call shelter or CAB. Unless there is something very unusual, you should have at least two months if given notice to quit, I’m sure.

a whole year every two months she comes and says you have two or three months, then she says I won't sell it, then I'm selling it again and this summer she said I'm keeping it and since a week I've been selling it again. they have two houses next to each other merged gardens she and the family live in one and the other is full of tenants and hers also has more tenants. and at the moment even this house that wants to sell it is paying it off, I don't know how that happens. I have no relatives here, no one to go to. except to collect money until I can sit here and find something.

I'll stay here to the end I'm not going anywhere 😪

Councils have duties once you are threatened with eviction within the next 8 weeks.

If it was an AST then it is usually minimum two months' notice on ll side, even after the initial period? You will need the relevant formal notice letter to present to council for emergency housing as homeless. Shelter can advise you.

By law they have to issue you a section 21 to start the eviction process. This gives you two months notice, not one. You need to contact Shelter and your council ASAP to get their advice.
