Can a text message ever be legally binding as giving landlord notice 'in writing' to end a UKtenancy agreement
Can they say that a 'text' is the same as 'in writing' legally?
Additional Details
It's ok - i am hoping the answer is no as landlord is trying to evict me on the basis that i sent a text saying that i did not wish to remain in the property, but this was intended as 'not after my fixed period' -not i want to leave now!

How can a text message be 'Legally Binding' in anything, let alone giving notice to a landlord: when a text message could have easily been sent by 'Any One' using your phone: and not just by yourself??!!!

Nationwide: there would be a lot of serious sh1T if text messages were legally binding: the courts would be full!!

To give notice in writing means just that: 'IN WRITING'!!

It must be either written by hand or typed: with name, address, a contact number, and most of all .. 'Dated'... and signed by yourself!!

If you want it to be even more securely legal... get it independently counter signed!!

Then hand deliver with a witness to verify it being handed over... or post using registered or recorded delivery to show proof of postage and receipt.

No hun,

Your landlord sounds like a right prick !!!!

It has to be in writing, and if he is being an **** you can actually claim squatters rights.

He needs to give you good reason for tenancy termination, and time to find other arrangements. All this has to be in writing with a witness signature.

Hope this helps.

No. "In writing" means written out on a piece of paper and signed by your own hand. It can be typed or you can use a word processing program and print it out, but the piece of paper and your signature are key elements. You should also send it by recorded delivery so that you have proof.

well it might be .... wasn't there a piece in the news last week about a politician who resigned by text?


daniel m
I don't think it would be sufficient because most tenancy agreements require that each person subject to the agreement "signs" that they wish to end the agreement. As far as I am aware, you cannot "sign" a text message - although you can in emails!
