Landlord entering flat without permission

[Pacific]

Also the landlord seems to think he can get her out end of the month, so she's concerned he'll try to come in again.

She's not avoiding a gas inspection it's not due yet and he's using it as an excuse to disturb her, closer to when it's due she's fine with them coming in just not him. He caused a scene in front of her neighbours today and she felt so embarrassed totally humiliated.

I believe the notice on a periodic tenancy (which is what it becomes if a new AST is not signed) is 2 months. Any attempt to remove the tenant without a court order (even after the 2 months have expired) is illegal.

ISLANDGIRL I've moved this from the other post as u advised as it relates to this one

She has received an eviction notice. She didn't continue reporting him because she didn't want the situation to escalate.

But now he's evicting her anyway. Attached is the form sent to her by recorded delivery. It's only 2 pages and there is the word "amended" at the top so she isn't sure what's amended or if she's received the entire thing?

There is no email contact listed in the form only address and phone, she found an email contact online for the company the landlord hired to evict her, she wants all documents sent to her electronically can she contact them to request this? Can they refuse to email it if they've already given her a paper copy? She wants this so she can prove exactly what was/wasn't received.

Thank you. So you have 2 months notice, section 21. There are rules about how the 2 months relates to rent due days etc so look those up to see if it is valid in that respect. The 2 months notice does not compel the tenant to leave at the end of 2 months but after this point the LL can go to court to evict. It will only succeed if deposit is protected and all right to rent info etc served. It is a long process. If LL wins posession in court he must then instruct baliffs to remove the tenant. The LL cannot do this himself. The cost of all of this is added to the tenants bill. If there is no email, write to the company saying all correspondence must be by post or email and give an address they can use. I have no idea what the ameded means. There may be other experts who will give advice but I also suggest a post in another forum Landlordzone which helps LLs and tenants. There are many specialists who will help over there - just google it.

The "as amended" refers to amendments made in the original statute.
So if you refer eg the The Housing Act 1988 sec 21 (4) you will see in heavy square brackets ( [.. ]) the words " in writing". with a reference F5
The source of that amendment can be found by referring to the footnote F5 on the act
