and to be fair he has to cover his back incase you choose not to leave. Most of our tenancy agreements include a section 21 signed letter agreeing that they'll vacate at the end of the term unless otherwise agreed. He's obviously been a twat in the past but is being fair allowing you 2 months notice. | |

You're liable to pay the rent up until the end of your tenancy so he's no obligation to allow you to vacate earlier. However if he does want you out as soon as, then i'm sure he'd come to some mutual arrangement. I'd try to agree any deductions from your deposit as early as possible though and have it in writing if possible. | |

Now that we have more of the facts we can make a fairer comment. The only thing you haven't stated is how long the agreement was for, and how far you are into it. | |

If he'd already prepared the eviction notice he'd obviously made up his mind before he saw you, which would indicate to me that it wasn't that he disliked you as tenants but does genuinely want the property back. | |

quote: Scottish law states as ive know researched a bit that i can give him 1 months notice, although he has given me two, he is legally obliged to give me the tenant two months notice under scottish law i just want to cut this short to ensure me, my partner and my 18 month old daughter are going to have a roof over our heads!!! the landlord has told us he wants us out for personal reasons true story is he came round for an inspection told us that the glass doors in the kitchen were all marked ( i cleaned them before he came round with milton spray instead of windolene, he also said that the kick plates in the kitchen were dirty... Are they supposed to be shiny?? lol So my gf told him in so many words ( as she is a clean freak and everyone always comments on how clean our house is) that if it wasnt clean enough for him to evict us and get a full time cleaner to move in :lol::lol: And straight to the point he gave us an eviction notice :mad::mad::mad::mad: Dont wana do anyone out of money as the landlord clearly has a depoit of ours, he has cut corners with maintenance that i end up carrying out myself cos he was tight, No landlords safety checks done or that, but as im a gas engineer i checked everything over anyway without anything being signed as technically i cannot do any work in another property but it wasnt a chance i was willing to take as my baby was a few months old when we moved in :wave::wave: If he wants to get smart with the deposit im sure the HSE would like to know that no gas safety certificates were issued, Not a grass and woulnt like to do that, but i reckon hes gona play dirrty cos he got a bit of cheek from my gf that he couldnt respond to :lol::lol: | |

quote: Are you joking? :lol: The landlord hasnt opened his door and told him to move in and not pay a penny, he has been paying the going market rate for renting his place and no doubt making the landlord money. If he can leave before the 2 months (Im not saying do it on purpose) and get that extra months rent back then he should. | |

he is renting the property on a short term lease it is always likely that he might be asked to leave. Part of renting a property. | |

tbh, they are causing hassle by wanting him out, so if he finds a place he likes within 4wks why should he pass up on it just to make things better for the person who is kicking him out? | |

Its normally 2 months written notice from the landlord/agent after the first 6 months of the assured short hold tenancy agreement under section 21, but 4 weeks from the tenant to the landlord. Don't know about Scotland but would've thought it'd be similar. | |
