She has every right to discontinue renting to you, just as you have every right to give her notice and leave.
You are month to month with no lease.
If you force her to evict you you will have that on your credit report, making renting in the future very difficult.
You can not force a property owner to put off renovations just because you want to stay. |

Sadly she is within her rights to give you two months' notice.
Ask her for a written reference saying that you've always paid your rent ok then you should be able to find somewhere else. It's in her interests to give you a good reference cos if she doesn't you might have to stay on till you're evicted, which could take months and months. |

Legally she can do it thanks to the change in laws....don't you just love them!
Get a bit of legal advise as you could find she tries to make you pay for alot of the repairs. If you feel up to it you could let the metter go to court which would mean not moving out at the end of the 2 months. Then you would be able to state that this has only come about becuase of the rent increase and mention of work needed doing.
They may find in your favour and insists she gets the work done and keep you on. |

If you have lived in the property for 18 months in that time period rental prices would have gone up 15 - 30 percent i.e London.
So she would make more money by renovating the place and renting it 1/3 higher as every 3 months she stands to make a months rent as you currently pay.
If her fixed mortgage is coming to an end, he would be paying more on her mortgage and needs to charge more to keep up as the property is an investment like a shop or any other business and most make money for the owner.
If you do not vacate the property and don't pay rent, you may get a CCJ and make to spend years fixing it.
Hence I advise you try to reach a middle ground with her or move out to a better place.
Also factor in the cost of moving, its worth negotiating. |

It tough I'm afraid but in housing Law she is within her rights to give you two months notice at any time, and doesn't even have to give you a reason.
You could try presenting at the local Council as you will be unintentionally homeless. |

She is within her right to give you two months' notice and perhaps she does intend to make major renovations before letting it to someone else, probably at a greatly increased rent.
However, she cannot evict you without a court order, which cannot be applied for until the notice has expired. You could dig your heels in (and wait until the bailiffs call) but it might affect your ability to get taken on by another landlord. I suggest you start looking for somewhere else. |

Being as you're not protected by a signed lease, your landlord CAN evict you at any time...which she has given you ample notice to do so. Most landlords only give 30 days. Sorry........but you've got no legal grounds to sue her. |

Unfortuantely yes she is right she can do what she has done, however you can sit tight and make her go to court to have you evicted - but its messy and will not really benefit you in the long run as you will still have to vacate the property and it will just cause you undue stress. I advise that you go to citizens advice bureau, or even your local housing office for advice. I hope you get something sorted soon, sounds like you are better offf out anyway. |

Find a place to live! A two month notice to vacate is satisfactory considering the fact that you only had a 6 month lease. Keep in mind that this is NOT your property---you do not own this----you do NOT call the shots! Your landlady needs to make improvements on the property---she doesn't need your permission to do that. She also does not need to give you 60 days, she could give you 30! |

If you've been going on a month to month basis, your landlord only needs to give you one months notice to vacate the property. The tenancy you originally signed still stands but continues on a month to month basis, so you both have to adhere to the terms of that original tenancy. She has given you the appropriate notice? That's all she needs to do and vice versa. |

I think the current tenancy laws favour the tenant.
I would suggest you go along to your local CAB (citizens advice bureau) they have solicitors who will advise you.Take your rent book and any documentation/correspondance you have from your landlord.
Good luck |
