A few more facts are needed to make any constructive comment.* However, under normal circumstances a 2 month written notice is required, known as a S.21.* If you are in rent arrears of more than 2 months, the landlord can apply for a S.8 which would mean he may be granted a possession order in court. The court will then inform you of the date you must vacate.* I must stress though without knowing the facts it is difficult to give you any further advice.

More facts/details is needed about your TA, one line sentence are not much help !

Have you signed a AST, how long you lived there for, where does your landlord live, did you pay a deposit was it protected and so on.

A LL needs to serve correct notices on a tenant, obtain a possession order and in the End bailiffs remove a tenant which all takes time

Then from what you posted so far

The LL/LA would have to serve you written notice/ correct forms if they want possession of the property, which will take time.

If they do ever serve notice on you, take the paper work to Shelter, CAB or a Solicitor office so they can check the forms and advise you accordingly...

You cannot be Evicted immediately by a LL/LA, its and Criminal and Civil offence for do so.

Thanks for the links, but is there anyway at all thyat they can evict you on the spot?
the LL/LA are very good at twisting facts you see

But if it is a criminal offence to be Evicted immediately then who regulates this? is it a police matter? do you know where I can get reference to it being a criminal offence?
