Hi,
I have been definition to pierce to London for a whilst right divided as well as found a good houseshare upon gumtree usually over a month ago. we met with a skill owner as well as favourite a place so we sealed up for a 6 month tennancy agreement with them as well as put down my deposit. we changed in upon a 25th Jan as well as my second months remuneration has been taken out today.
However we have usually recieved a phone call observant which a skill owner is offered a skill as well as so they have been giving me my months notice to pierce out. Shellshocked, we motionless to check a stipulate prior to argueing behind as well much, so we am fundamentally usually perplexing to find out what my rights have been here as well as what we should do?
This puts me in an frustrating on all sides as in a months time we will be in my initial week of my brand new connoisseur pursuit as an estate representative as well as will be operative up to twelve hour days as well as up to 6 days a week as well as won’t have time to find a place as well as pierce seat opposite London. we have additionally usually set up an comment with pure to have an Internet tie in a house, as well as even if we terminate we will remove my 35 bruise deposit. Furthermore we have sealed up to a 3 month 55/month gym membership down a highway which if we pierce divided would be utterly impracticle.
Please can someone discuss it me what my rights have been in this situation, as well as either i could instead of insisting we stay in an dull residence for 4 months alone, we try to get remuneration for my waste from a land duke as well as presumably half of this months lease behind as staying until a end of a month would usually be ab combined hassle.
Any feedback is most appreciated.

If you are on assured short hold 6 months tenancy he has to give you a minimum of 2 months notice, if you have completed that, and are on a rolling monthly contract then he only has to give you 4 weeks.
check the contract as this is usually standard in this types of contracts, also he is unlikely to sell in a month, so if that is your contract, stand your ground and tell him you are not moving until the tenancy ends
You have rights. Your new boss at the Estate Agency will either know or can find out from a friendly Solicitor. Have a word with them.
Much depends on your contract, most contracts have a reasonable notice clause which means that a month’s notice by either party would be deemed reasonable.
If you have paid a deposit you should have a notice from your landlord stating which licensed company your deposit has been paid into, (this avoids problems with disagreements with regard to damages etc).
If you notify your landlord, that moving out before the end of the signed contractual term, will cause you financial losses, you may between you, be able to work out a way to recoup those losses.
If your landlord has not lodged your deposit with one of the registered companies and given you notice of doing so, your landlord will legally have to give you 2x your deposit.
Relax. If the landlord is not resident with you, you are an Assured Shorthold Tenant protected by the Housing Act. If he is resident, you are a lodger and have no rights.
Assuming the first instance, the notice he has given is illegal. He can give you notice to quit, but the earliest date of vacation would be the morning after the last day of your 6 month agreement.
Just ignore the notice and maintain your standing order. If he hassles you in any way, he is breaking the law, so you can seek redress in the courts. As you are house sharing, wise up your sharers as if they leave you may well be liable for the total rent.
I understand your difficulty with arrangements you have committed to, but you should still keep an eye open for alternative accommodation. sooner or later. The link below may be helpful.
If the landlord can prove that he has to sell the property (it must be a good reason) he can give notice before the contract has expired .
The law does tend to fall on the owner in these cases, you will still have to pay the full rent but as a good will jesture he may pay a contribution towards your out of pocket expenses ,but isn’t obligated too.
Don’t forget he has to prove it ,so you can put it in writing that you want to stay for the remainder of the contract and let him prove he has to sell,good luck
I’d go with BARRY’s answer. Assuming the landlord does not share a bathroom/kitchen with you, then your tenancy is safe for the 6 months, PROVIDING you don’t let yourself fall into any of the situations outlined in schedule 2 of the Housing Act 1988 (essentially – if you keep to your side of the agreement, you’re okay). If the landlord sells, your tenancy transfers by LAW to the new owner and he/she becomes your landlord.
At the end of your 6 months, you then come under the normal obligation for the landlord to give you 2 months notice.
