Can landlord force me out after no-fault notice if I stay?

[BlakeCarrington]

Hello wise Mumsnetters

I hope some of you might have experience in this area. I’m a private tenant who has been in a property for a year and am on a month by month rolling contract. I’ve looked after the place well, paid my rent on time etc.

My landlord has decided to sell up and has given me a no fault eviction notice and 2 months notice which runs out at the end of this month.

I have sorted somewhere else to go, but I can’t get into the new place until end of April. I was thinking of asking him to extend u til then but I doubt he’ll go for it, he’s champing at the bit to sell it.

Where would I stand if I just said I can’t move out until end of April as I’ve nowhere to go? It’s only 4 extra weeks and I would still pay rent. Could he send in the bailiffs or change the locks or something?

Thanks

The LL hasn't shown much understanding so far. So whilst I normally would have worked with an agreeable LL, in this instance I'd be inclined to just allow photos but no viewings. The OP is legally entitled to the right of peaceful existence without unnecessary intrusion from LL or agent.

I was responding to that poster specifically, who had made a comment directly referencing the previous post. You chose to respond to me, misunderstanding what I said, without looking at the context of my response. You also have a good day.

Which Labour have chosen to carry through, its utter madness.

Sure get rid of Sect 21 but in reality it wont stop a single eviction, will just take a bit longer, with a reason given.

Other costs will be born by the tenant in higher rents and evictions.

Labour plan on forcing LLs to fit new kitchens and bathrooms... 10s of 1000s in additional costs, not because the kitchen/bathroom is falling to bits but because its old.

New EPC regs will mean further costs... again running into '000s.

LL register? more costs, it wont be cheap.

None of this applies to owner occupier.

I thought it was perfectly clear 🤷‍♀️. They weren't responding to you anyway. It was you who chose to jump in and misinterpret their comment.

As you are “jumping in” now to a post that wasn’t addressed to you. Because - lo! - that’s how a discussion forum works.

You have a great day too, sweetie 😘

The difference is that I read the thread properly lol

Wrong. Again.

You’re very aggressive for someone who got the law so very wrong just a few posts ago but decided to brush that off and carry on spouting “facts” 😅

I'm so glad I'm no longer an accidental landlord. Tenants can be just as vicious as the grubby landlords.

I'd never rent my house out again. And my tenants were ok.
