Hi, I know it is bad form, but I'm very worried- we are being evicted.

Thread here

Thankyou, and sorry for posting a thread about a thread but I need advice quickly!

Sorry, not an expert but I think it is legal. You've been given two months notice to move out.
I would contact shelter for advice and I really hope someone more knowledgable comes along soon.

get looking

You are not being evicted (yet). A section 21 (which is what they should have given you) is a notice that the landlord wants his property back. If you stay beyond the notice the landlord will have to take you to court to evict you, which could take around 3 months.

It is shit but perfectly within the landlords rights.

have posted on original thread as thats where the info is.

But if they have to evict you, they're not going to write you a good reference for you next landlord. As a general rule, it's better to part company on good terms. So get looking.

I don't know what your health problems are, obviously, but it's presumably worth finding out where you'd be on the waiting list for social housing?

This is what I have been fretting about for a while, and people kept saying it would never happen.
