Section 21
Hi,
im hoping somebody could help me here...
our landlord has served us with a section 21 with 3 months notice, the section 21 itself is deemed invalid.
(Landlord protected our deposit on 6th October 2015, then emailed in 29th October informing us that we would be served with a section 21, due to wanting to change the property to a holiday let, email also stated they had several meetings with accountant, it is believed the deposit was only protected in order to serve the section 21. We have lived in the property for 3yrs and 6months, initially a short hold tendency with a rolling contract)
despite this we have been searching for our new home.. And have found one.
My question is do We have to serve the landlord a notice to quit with one months notice, or can we just leave before the date stated on the section 21.
We we want to move ASAP, things have been strained between us for sometime (the landlords and us).
we plan on serving a letter before notice on signing up for our new property for failing to put our deposit in a DPS.
any advice would be much appreciated, there is so much advice for sticking out the section 21 and court proceedings but nothing on if you wish to leave before the section 21 is up.
