Can someone please guide me?
I’ve been living in my rented home for over six years, and now my landlord has informed me that he wants to sell the property. We’ve always had a good relationship with him, and we’ve never caused any issues. I have a one-year-old son, I’ve just returned to work from maternity leave, and my husband works full-time. Unfortunately, due to the cost of living, we can’t afford to rent privately elsewhere.
My landlord has served us with a Section 21 notice, which I submitted to the council along with a homelessness risk form. The notice period has now passed, and I reached out to the council for help—but they told me they can’t assist until there’s a possession order and a bailiff warrant.
Do I really have to go through this entire process? It feels like an unnecessary burden for my landlord and puts me in an awkward position with him, which I’ve tried to avoid. I’m feeling lost and unsure of what to do next.
