Remaining in your property
Landlords can evict an assured shorthold tenant after giving two months notice (usually referred to as a section 21 notice) and getting a court order. Most privately rented tenants are assured shorthold tenants. Do not leave your accommodation unless you have found alternative accommodation or are required by law to leave. Remember, only a bailiff can evict you and they need an order from the court. If a landlord wants to begin action to evict you, they must follow certain eviction procedures.
If you are lodging with friends/family, resident landlord, or in tied accommodation then your rights of occupation may be limited.
If you have been given notice to leave or have been given 28 days to leave a property, you may be classed as threatened with being homeless.
