Posting here for traffic. My landlord has give me notice to quit , but when i found another flat i failed the credit check due to a 2yr old CCJ. I dont know what to do, i have no relatives or friends to put me up. I am in bits, cant stop crying and panicking. Is it worht offering the landlord more rent per month? It will cripple me but he is saying he could get £150 more than i pay. I am on the floor with panic

If you haven't received a 21, you haven't been given notice properly. And as everyone says, it's 2 months.

Do you think that the increased rent is genuinely fair for the area and the property, once the improvements you mentioned have been done? If so, it might be worth paying the extra to remain, especially given your mental health issues.

Good luck.

OP don't panic. If it makes you feel better, I am going through an illegal eviction process with my landlord. After several failed attempts at issuing illegal S21 as part of a revenge eviction, my last S21 was dated the end of January this year. Since then I have been fighting him through the courts. If he doesn't follow the process accurate it's very hard to get you out.

Contact the housing team or tenancy relation team at your local council.

I completely understand how panic inducing this can be. I am a single parent with two children and nowhere to go. But the only way you can get through this is to remove the emotion and deal with it through cold logic.

SHELTER will help you with a legal letter for the LL OP. Have you called yet? I'm in Oz at the moment so have lost time awareness!

If your agent thinks you are a good tenant, can they put in a good word for you to other landlords?
