Does anyone have any legal knowledge regarding expired tenancies? If you do can you message me…

Can't message you as your private but if your tenancy has ended they can apply for a court order xx

@michellewiggins1985 sod it I will write it on here. He's not trying to evict me or anything of the sort. Basically because I'm pregnant I need a bigger place and me and my partner want to move in together. My tenancy ran out in 2015 😱 which I didn't even know. Basically the new place we've been offered have said we can move in on the 1st june. On my tenancy agreement which has expired it says I have to give 1 calendar months notice. In the eyes of the law because my tenancy has expired does that still stand. I don't want to leave him in the lurch but obviously have to prioritise money for my family etc and don't want to have to pay half months rent on the place I'm in plus a months rent and deposit on the new place. Xx

Are you sure it’s not a rolling contract as such? I would try and give as much notice as possible as you will want your deposit ect back. X

@rachaellw I didn't pay a deposit. And it's a short hold tenancy from what I've read it isn't a rolling contract. I definitely want to give as much notice as possible as I really don't like to annoy people but I can't miss an opportunity on the new place if that makes sense.....I'm so confused with all this. It's just stressing me out xx

@pearce5443 yes you are still entitled to give at least a months notice x

@michellewiggins1985 so legally i still have to or can it be less xx

@pearce5443 i work in housing, if you have no deposit or tenancy agreement you really have nothing to loose, if you want to be a decent person i would give 1 months notice. If you had a deposit it place it would be a different story. Let me know if i can help xx

I would maybe speak to your landlord and see what they say. I’m really not sure where you stand with it hun, it’s kinda his own fault for not keeping up some kind of contract with you. X

@annie.entwistle I really don't want to screw him over. I might just explain the situation to him and see what he says. That way I've left the ball in his court. If he says 1 months notice that's the way it will have to be. I've been here for four years. Never missed a rent payment etc. I just feel he hasn't extended me the same courtesy as a landlord I've told him for the past two years the two of the windows in the flat are broken (not smashed just drop when they're opened). He has never addressed the fact there are no working fire alarms or that there is mould (it's not horrendous damp just a little). But I know you're right. I should be a decent person and give him the notice stated when I moved in 😔. Makes me sad I'm going to have to fork out money I could do without having to spend if that makes sense. Xx

@rachaellw Yeah I know I just don't want to mug him off because I'm not like that. I'm just going to talk to him and hopefully he will be ok about it. Considering the tenancy has actually expired xx

@pearce5443 i think your right about just talking to him, no working smoke alarms is against the law, and mould is extremley bad for your health, good on you trying to be decent but i would make a fresh start a lot of people would not have paid full rent or any at all with those issues so think youve been decent enough. If its a shorthold he could say its rolling and some of them mean 2 months notice, but again their is no deposit to loose so he really couldn't say you have to do that. Good luck and let us know how you get on xx

@annie.entwistle thank you 😊 xx

Hiya, i am a landlord. Have a look in your contract to see if it says your contract continues to role after expiry. If thats the case Unfortunately you’ll have to give a months notice and pay for that last month. However you can leave whenever u like. Just means you’ll be paying for a couple of weeks you wont be there. X

@stephiijones123 where will it specify as I've had a read through and haven't seen it anywhere? Xx

In mine i always put that the contract will continue to role and that i must give 2 months and the tenant must give 1 month if they wish to leave. If it doesnt state anything and you havent signed a new contract. Tell him ur leaving and that ur moving into new premises by 5th june. X

@pearce5443, its his responsibility to update his contracts and keep everything up to date x

@stephiijones123 thanks hun. Will do. I doesn't say anything like that in the contract xx
