It sounds like you have no choice. Get all your bits packed up and as much in storage (at friends) as possible.
Do not pay the Landlord anything. I suspect he has known about this for a while and probably legally should have informed you.
I would advise CAB but think you would be better going to the local Council to arrange emergency housing. They should give you this the day you get evicted which clearly could be soon.
Also I believe a bailiff cannot enter the property without your consent so would not be within the law to come into the property and remove your belongings.
Check the website below as it has lots of info on the rights of tenants. |

go to citizens advice immediately!!!! they will be able to help you and give you advice!! you should have a contract with the landlord, if you do take that with you aswell!!! do not ignore this letter - you dont wanna go out one day and come back to find your personal belongings on the pavement and the locks changed!!! your landlord is in the wrong to even suggest this and should sort out this mess instead of ignoring it!!
hope everything gets sorted soon!! |

Did your landlord give you a rent book? This may help if you take it with you when you visit the CAB, but you need to act swiftly.

If you live in the UK, get down to see your citizens advice bureau as soon as possible, they can get to the bottom of all this for you and discover what your rights are, they may also be able to help to insure that you aren't made homeless.
If you're a legal tenant you become the tenant of any new owner, and nobody can be evicted from a property without a court order. |

I just went through the samre thing 6 months ago and I was forced to move. You have more time then 7 days, but start checking all your options. I had to move clear across the state of Washington to be able to afford a new place on my income. But it was a nice change. I feel God had something to do with. |

Go straight to your local Citizens Advice Bureau, they should be able to help. I would also go to your local council housing department or housing association as well. |

did you receive a letter or a Court Order.....big difference....a letter has no legal standing....a court order does.
If you have not violated the terms of YOUR lease.....the lender gets the house AND the tenant w/ a valid lease. |

Where are you?
legal rights are different in different countries and places [states or provinces].
and you'd best google your local laws or get proper advice [solicitor or attorney] ASAP. In some jurisdictions, if you pay the landlord and he loses the property, you will still be evicted by the mortgage holder and you'll have to sue the landlord for your rent back [GL on that since he's obviously broke]. In others if you don't pay the landlord, he can evict you [but the mortgage holder can't].
Find the law in your area soonest. |

The key here is the letter came from the baliff, who is an officer of the court. This has nothing to do with your landlord anymore. I would take this seriously. Yes, the court can remove your belongings. It will take more than 7 days for the landlord to evict you, so I definitely would NOT pay him, pack your stuff (be ready to move on a moments notice) and wait out the 7 days, or just move on. |
