Landlord

You are just being asked to leave, which is not an eviction. An eviction is a legal action, which he will take if you do not leave his property willingly.
Of course he can do this. This is his property, he no longer wished to rent to you. He has the same right to discontinue the relationship as you do. |

If you have an assured short-hold tenancy the landlord can give you two month notice and does not have to give a reason. This is housing law in England and Wales under the Housing Act.
Sorry my friend but yes they can do what they are doing.
Ps this is not an eviction. He has the right to ask you to leave within two months. If you do not leave, then he has to apply to the Courts for an eviction notice. So he asks you to leave and then if you don't he applys to the courts, only then does it become an eviction. |

Without a lease you are considered a month to month tenant. You or the landlord can give proper notice (usually 30 days) to vacate....no reason is necessary. |

You aren't being evicted. Being evicted means you are being removed by force or legal action, and your landlord isn't doing that.
Since you don't have a contract, your landlord is only required to give you reasonable notice (usually 30 days) if she/he wants you to vacate the property. A reason is not necessary. |

It sounds like you have an assured shorthold periodic tenant as you go month to month. This means you must have at least two months notice. The bad news is he doesn't need to give a reason.
Most landlords will give you a written agreement but, even if you don't have one, you still have rights. If the landlord accepts rent from you for living in the property, then any verbal agreement you have made counts as a legal agreement.
Most private tenants can only be evicted if the Landlord follows specific legal procedures. These usually start when your landlord gives you notice that you will have to leave, which he appears to have done.
You now have the choice whether to find somewhere else or wait until the date you are due to leave. If you don't he will then have to apply to the courts to get you evicted. This will take him a few weeks and in the meantime he cannot hassle you or cause you problems by coming in etc. You must pay rent though. The court will then hear the case and what you have to say and he will usually have to give a reason why he wants you to leave. If the court think it is good enough they will side with him however they may take your side and allow you to stay.
You can get loads of info from the shelter website. I would also suggest you go to one of the freebie solicitors for some advise. |

If your tenancy agreement has run out I think he can. You might be better off asking someone down at Citizen's Advice Bureau. |

As long as you understand your lease ( or no lease) you may have ground to stand on. A no lease is a month to month agreement with any conserne elligible to termitate it-requardless of who insites this. A month to month has you at disadvantage and allows you only a week to vacate. No reason has to be said or expressed. Only a notice has to be given. Buck-up and go on! No matter the time has lapsed. You bought into this notion and when subjected to it 's darker side you new all allong that you had to have a second plan to fall too. Strike this up as a good experience worthy to be proud to weather wise and propel yourself forward. |

You are under a month to month rental agreement. if you have no lease then you have a month to month.
They can give you a notice to move and this must meet all state law requirements.
In Calif. If you are in the apartment/home more than 1 year then they must give you a 60 day notice.
I`m not sure what you mean by a solicitor. Unless you are refering to a property manager.
If it is a property manager then they are acting on the owners behalf.
Best of luck with your new apartment/home |

A landlord can evict at any time for any reason, including not having a reason. They can just want their property back. Most only give 30 days notice. You have until May 8th. That is plenty of time to find another place. Make sure everything is cleaned and repaired so he has no reason to withhold your security deposit. |

No he has to give a valid reason by law. Tenants have rights and if your rent is up to date and you have not broken tenancy rules you are a sitting tenant. I think he is trying to frighten you by using a solicitor. Go to the CAB they will help you . Good luck. |
