P L | I rented a house 12 weeks ago and now landlord wants to sell. E.agents want to start viewings, wha r my rights |
I rented a house 12 weeks ago on the understanding it was a long term let.....and now Ive just been told that the landlord wants to sell the property. I am getting bombarded with phonecalls from the estate agents to come and get internal photos and floorplans so they can market he property. Have I any rights? I really do not want my life disrupted by viewings and having to keep the house spotless for potential viewings. |

OK I suspect you have signed a 6 month fixed term tenancy, a AST. This means that the landlord and tenant is tied to that 6th month term. The earliest the landlord can get you out is the last day of that term. To do this he should serve you a section 21 notice on the 4th month. Once the six months has elapsed, if he gives notice it has to be 2 full months from the rent date. If you refuse to vacate he will have to go to court, this can take anything from 3-8 months.
Now the problem you have with the agent/landlord. Despite what other people on here say, in the UK if you refuse the landlord entry, there is nothing he can do. You need to put in writing to the landlord and agent, that you are entitled to
freedom and exclusive use of the property.
Certainly Landlord/Agent cannot just show the property to prospective purchasers or tenants. This is not only trespass (civil wrong) but also harassment (criminal offence).
The only time a landlord/agent can enter without permission are:-
In a true emergency (boiler suspected not working is NOT an emergency).
If the tenant permits access.
If a court orders access.
So now you know your rights, sort them out, show them you know your rights, and they should be a lot carefuller. |

Did you sign a lease? If you did and it's for 6 months you have a right to stay in there until it's up. Not only that, but if you decided to stay longer than 6 months, they'd have to take you to court to get you out, which takes forever.
Sending round estate agents could be seen as harassment and intimidation - it's also getting in the way of your right to enjoy peace in your home.
The short answer is that, in all probability, no, your landlord does not have the right to do what he's doing - so go to the CAB soon. |

if you signed a contract for a 6 month lease then that is your house to rent for the next 6 month providing you keep up with the rent payments he can not sell it while your there and it is up to you if you want people in your home while your there i wouls speak to citezens advice or seek legal advice |

Alright, well the only person you have to let into your house (the house your renting) is your landlord, and he must give you 24 hours notice before entry. Before EVERY entry. You can't deny him entry. So you can turn down anyone else unless they are accompanied by your landlord. Also, if he DOES sell, you do not have to move. you're lease will move to the new owner and the only thing that will change is who you pay. You don't have to keep the house spotless unless it was agreed in your lease. You don't even have to answer the phone for anyone.
You actually have a lot of rights as a tenant, as that is your living space that you pay for.
Just make sure he's selling it with as a rental property with a tenant already and a lease ending xxx or a lease ending at the tenants descresion. If he is not selling it as this, you can take legal action. |

Unless the lease states you must give access , if you dont want them in then simply refuse.
Its almost impossible to evict someone, so refuse to pay the rent |

I think you should go to the Citizens Advice Bureau-am sure you have plenty of rights ,they are the best people to give you accurate info. tenants are protected these days and it seems you are being ridden roughshod over.--good luck |

If you signed a lease, it should say on there how long you are allowed to live there. The lease is a binding contract for both parties and so they cannot sell it until the lease runs out. You can take them to court for this.
If you are doing month-to-month, however, then they have to give you 30 to 60 day notice, depending on your state, before evicting you.
I suggest you get some legal advice from a lawyer because this sounds very shady to me. |

Check your lease. There may be a clause in there that allows the landlord to sell - but you would have to be given a 30 day notice.
And I would bring it up that you will only be able to be away from the premise for viewings on certain days or you may end up getting a phone call "they are on their way need you out in 10 mins" or something awful like that. |

What does it say in your lease agreement look it over then get your lawyer to look it over. |

If you signed a contract saying how long it was for then obviously he can not kick you out. |

You don't have any rights because you don't own the house
Unless you got proof that you were allowed to live in the property until a certain date like a contract or something then you may have a chance other than that the person who owns the house can do whatever they want with it. |
