A private landlord

Can't wait to move a tenant out who suffered a cardiac arrest even though the tenant said he ws moving in with Family the landlord gave him 3 days to move his belongings, taking into account he always paid his rent on time and as i said he suffered a cardiac arrest surely he should have been given a few days grace to move his belongings, subsequently he has had to dump some of his belongings, nice to know we live in such a caring society.

Play him at his own game and claim squatters rights till he's ready to move, the landlord can't do anything for 6 months. But in all seriousness the landlord can't give 3 day's notice, it has got to be at least 1 month notice (if u pay ur rent monthly) and with a written notice. Personally as he sounds quite ruthless I'd go down the squatters rights route and teach him a lesson.

i thought it was 2 months notice?

If its a short hold tenancy got to give tenants 2 clear months notice ..say he signed contract on first of month then if notice is say given on 5th he gets that month and two more ... I have a few places and tenants are pretty much protected... but there are some awful landlords out there

I am a landlord and I have to give 2 months notice in a section 16 notice
and even then if the tenant does not move out I have to to court to get
a eviction notice.

if landlord does not follow this procedure the tenant can take the landlord to
court and get compensation and even move back into the property.

tell him to phone marland house they will give him full advice

Spot on, unless the tenant has given the landlord serious cause for eviction, even then he has to go to court to get an eviction notice, he cant just throw him out without any notice.

Under Protection of Eviction Act 1977 it is an offence to evict a tenant without a Court Order. Forcible eviction, harassment, cutting off the utilities etc would be a criminal offence.
if there are two or more months rent arrears then the landlord must serve a Section 8 Notice which would result in a Court hearing. Whole process could take 4-5 months ( although not the 15 months quoted by 'White Dee' on Benefit Street!) . Landlord gets an Order for Possession and another for the Rent Arrears.
Alternative method is issue Section 21 Notice Seeking Possession plus a separate Money Claim. Notice period is two months coinciding with the rent period. This way on expiry of the Notice the Court will grant Possession without a hearing. Known as the Accelerated Possession Procedure. Not 3 days though..!

Any landlords wanting legal advice or needing to find new tenants, let me know!
