Flat hunting in london is the most exhausting and frustrating process ever :( It's really annoying how the UK law doesn't protect tenants, a landlord pulled out of the contract literally 2 days before move in date, but I was lucky enough to get emergency accommodation from my uni. Just the thought of almost being homeless still gives me anxiety
I feel you. It's frustrating and disappointing. I know.🥺But you will figure this one out. You will find a new apartment. You will come out of this with a new kind of problem solving skill. Sometimes tough situations get us more ahead than good ones. You got this.💪🙂
I feel for you guys! My husband and I had a very similar situation a few months ago and it is heart breaking. The reality is that it is perfectly normal for you to have attached sentimentally to your flat as it is your home, but I truly hope that you find another place that will make you love it as much or more and just always try and remember that wherever you are not matter the place..what makes it a home is you guys. Lots of positive vibes for you 🥲 the Universe has good things in store for you!
im so sorry Macerly. I know how upsetting this can be but don't worry 🩷 we are here to support you throughout this difficult time. Hopefully you find a better apartment
The same thing happened to us, and it was super frustrating because we had only moved in 6 months prior 😫. He also wanted to move back in. I know it’s so upsetting, but you will end up finding another place. Lots of love ❤
Yeah it’s awful, I signed a 10 month tenancy in an unfurnished full house all smiles and promises it would be renewed. Cut to 4 months in and £800 in moving fees and we were told they weren’t renewing. Asking people to move into unfurnished place to unfurnished place within 12 months or less is beyond stressful. 16 months contracts should be normalised not 12. Meanwhile, no chance of anyone getting on the properly ladder. Dickens England 2023. Landlord rule.
I am so sorry to hear this. I hope you find something fast and that it feels more like home than you imagined. Maybe the universe is bringing you something better ❤
i literally just stumbled across your london moving videos this week and watched the whole process of you finding flats, moving in and making it your own so this breaks my heart! im so sorry this happened and i hope you manage to find a good replacement
best of luck with the flat hunting process maddy! im in a bit of a similar situation myself- i just had to leave the studio of my dreams earlier than planned here in the netherlands and was absolutely heartbroken to leave the place i had planned to live in for the next few years all of the sudden like that & was super anxious i would not get a place i would like as much in time. it’s really not a nice situation to be in but i am sure you will manage and find a place you can call home again, sending hugs xxx
I am so sorry this happened to you! I just came across your channel because of this video but the rest of your content really appeals to me as well. I’ve subscribed to follow your continued journey and really think you will find another great place ❤
That happened to me and is surprisingly common when you rent from landords that aren't in it for long-term investment.. You are wise to save up for ownership if you can afford it for peace of mind.
I‘m so sorry to hear. I can relate with you! This would be really devastating. I hope that you get to see it as just another challenge that will make you more experienced and stronger in the future mate!
I just watched one of your school morning routines off a few year ago and I can’t believe how much your voice has changed!! This isn’t a hate comment btw xxx
That happens far too often in London, for valid reasons and sometimes for no reason. It is a massive inconvenience. I know you've found new place and that you're making it beautiful, so I'm not worried about you!
Girl I get it. It took my boyfriend and I 3.5 months to find our place after looking for so long and being waitlisted. Thankfully we were the first people to tour and agree, that they gave us priority. Though I couldn’t imagine looking for a new place to move in 2! Wishing you the best of luck. Also some words of encouragement: some things happen for a reason. Maybe you’ll find an even better flat that you never thought you’d get in your price range. People are leaving countries and relocating now that Covid is over. I’m sure there’s some hidden gems just waiting for you to come across ❤
My heart breaks for you! Something similar happened to me last year with the flat i had been living in for 3¾ years. Similarly, wasnt an awkward tenent, paid full rent through covid even when i wasn't physically there. Landlord stated reasons of building renovations, however that turned out to be a lie as they increased prices and filled with new tenents. it was a tough processed and also hit me hard. The loss and instablily was a lot. But like you showed, enjoying the time you have left living there and treating yourself with comforts like favourite food helps. Will be thinking about you two throughout this change, and i hope that you find somewhere better and even more special to call home 💛
Its super rough and I feel for you as someone in the same situation just now. But this is a good life lesson that everything eventually comes back to equilibrium. A lot of your early content (and hence income) was based on flat hunting in London. The rental market gave you an opportunity to cash in and you did, but now your going to have to pay some of that back in increased rent prices.
I’ve been through that and it is very heart wrenching...you are in my thought and prayers however, what I’ve learn through my longggggg life is everything happens for a reason…and 95% of the time it’s better….just enjoy the journey and never be negative…if you do just let yourself have a good cry….and let it go…positivity never sinks a ship
I know this is an old posting, but I did feel for you! However, as a landlord, the situation cuts both ways! I’ve had bad tenants I struggled to get rid of!
same I got a flat for my first year of uni this year and got so emotionally attached to it, now I have to move out so I am searching for a new one and it totally sucks
What is it with all these men in the comment section mensplaining how you should stop complaining and buy your own place? 🙄 I swear you guys if we could we would ! @ Maddie, I was in the same situation as you last year. Only I am 29 yo and I was ready to move forward in life and settled somewhere. I moved out of London and back home (in France) and although it wasn't easy it is the best decision I have made. Sometimes we have to go through our hardest battle to find peace. This is all I wish you and Theo, to find a new home and finally be at peace. X
I’m not a man, I’m a woman and I have said the same (and the term “mansplaining” is ridiculous, do you womansplain?). They’re a couple and should definitely focus on saving up to buy. Getting emotional about a rental proper because you assumed security is naive and silly. Lesson learned hopefully.
Stay positive Maddie, keep smiling! As others have said, everything happens for a reason and I’m confident your next place will be even nicer than the one you have now!
I hope you’ll find an even better place to live! That is the reason my husband and I are not buying expensive furniture while renting. We both moved 8-11 times while living in Canada and imagine what would happen to furniture getting moved and assembled every time. But I really feel you❤ everything is for the best!
Omg i hate this for you two. Yall have put so much work into diy-ing and making the place your own. 😥 You are not strange for feeling this way about your flat. It was your home.🫶🏻🫶🏻 Best of luck! ❤
This happened to me here in Oslo lol. We lived in a place we loved in Røa, owner wanted to move back in, now we're in some ancient place in Grünerløkka that is falling apart and isn't even big enough for us because this is the only place we could get. It sucks. I wish I had greater protection against this. We've lost so much money moving
Wow, usually it's the other way round - people wanting to move to løkka but having to live out past ring 3 because of prices. I guess because it's in such high demand that landlords don't feel like they have to renovate places in løkka to get tenants :/
@@JarvisChrist yeah there's definitely an element of not renovating because they just don't care. It was the same when we lived near Grønland stasjon. Its wild tho, when we went to the visning for this leilighet the line was literally out the courtyard and down the street. Maybe 40 people wanting it. No idea how we got it but we were glad because we were out of time
This sucks. I had to move more because the house conditions were horrible and the agency wasn't nice about anything. My boyfriend and I were looking and looking and I remember crying because everything was either extremely tiny or extremely expensive. Long story short we ended up moving to just outside London. Still travel there almost every month but we are happy now and live in a nice flat :) Best of luck with the hunt!!
It sucks. To be so easily pushed out even when you try to be good. Suck it all in. Embrace it. Promise yourself that one day you will be a position that no one can ever do that to you again. Now work toward it. It still going to suck for a while but know you are working towards never feeling like that again. You got this
Agency will normally show their newly enquired flats/houses to the potentially renters they already know. It takes at least a week (taking photos, etc.) for the agency to be able to upload the properties online. That is why the property would have viewed a few times before it is officially online.
@@mikeaddison6651 they still lost their home, that’s not nice no matter how much money you have, and finding an apartment is extremely stressful and limited
Just found you channel because I started looking for moving tips. My husband and I just moved the 1st of July also not because we wanted to, but because the house we lived in is getting sold. (Long story) We had a month to find a new place and pack so feel you pain. We found a good place and its starting to feel like home. Hope you guys feel that too. And you got a new Scadi follower
Oh gosh! I’m so sorry and sad to hear that. In solidarity; I know what this situation is like. 💗💗💗 It’s not weird, you are losing something; it’s a part of the grieving process… I am hoping and praying you find a place in time that is to your liking despite what the housing climate may be like in your area. Lol I don’t live in the UK but I want to try that brownie mix.
Buy your own place so nobody can take it from you. The home belongs to the landlord, once the lease ends there are no promises. The only way to keep this from happening is a longterm (multi- year) rental or purchase your own place.
Don’t worry too much. I’m getting evicted too. I applied to a 60 days breathing space to give me some time to find somewhere else to live but honestly with the rise of interest rates landlords are selling. Sometimes I see flats for SALE AND for RENT at the same time because landlords are cornered. It’s not easy but for tenants 1 flats has 2-5 competing people and not only in London. I live in Surrey and have the same issues. Prices went up by 200 GBP for sure. We will get there! I really hope
I like your balanced statement here. I rented for a decade (some horror stories in there) and now I own and sometimes the comments I see from renters are so ignorant as there is an assumption all landlords are rolling in money. Property owners are getting totally hammered by interest rates and inflation (think insurance, repair costs, maintenance costs etc) and it’s nice to see someone gets this as I think landlords get vilified a lot.
i’m sorry you’re losing the apartment but you’re very lucky he’s giving the time he is. i’ve had friends tell me their belongs have been thrown outside the door, stolen. all manor of horrific things. i hope you find a place that is better suited. i know you will. good luck! :)
Yess ahh we're really fortunate. I've also heard stories of people getting just a months notice - which is insane! How do you 1) find a flat, 2) view it, 3) offer 4) manage to win with that offer, 5) do the contract-signing face, 6) move out & arrange cleaning of your flat and 7) move into your new fla, in just that short of a time? Insane honestly
That’s illegal. You can’t force an eviction without going to court and getting a notice. And you certainly can’t enter the property as a landlord while a tenant is in, even if they’re out of contract. I know this from the person above me having to evict and absolute horror tenant. Your friends should take legal action for reimbursement if that really happened to them.
@@Julia36D I know right! Either these stories are from unsuspecting victims who don’t know their rights (which I’m guessing most are the case!) or a bit exaggerated if not fabricated as all those things described are completely illegal. It’s actually extremely difficult to evict a tenant on an AST. We took our landlord to court for harassment with an intent to evict and wanted the last 2 months worth of rent as that’s the period of harassment, was told to ask for more and the judge ended up awarding us with 9 months worth of rent!
This exact thing happened to me. In a Crazy turn of events, I was able to rent the place next door. But shopping for an apartment you feel safe and comfortable in is stressful.
I was month-to-month until the leaseholder was like ending it. You have remaining month and next. I was trying to find a place after living in such a big space. Now I have a storage unit as my new room rental is smaller. It is considered a real bedroom. I’m anxious about the two months and then the following year if the landlord likes us, and let’s sign. I’m so terrified that I have to move again as stories have popped up on huge rent increases with rent renewals. I need golden girls home. I’m not joking. I can’t afford upkeep and maintenance and taxes of a property ever in my life. So many circumstances require multiple incomes to split cost. Good luck. Renting is only great if you understand the benefits and can move multiple times in life. You have to be ready to pack.
Sucks. And. Did you investigate what laws apply to homeowners and tenants? I don't know about the UK, but in my EUropean country, there are all sorts of protections of tenants. Homeowners who want or need flexibility, for example because they have to repatriate after having been sent abroad as expats for some time, will engage in contracts that are made to undercut or bypass such tenant protections. People who naively step into such legal vehicles would be surprised of being evicted at some point. Next to for how long the contract is agreed, tenant protection may also depend on the amount of rent you pay or your income, a license from the municipality to live there, etc.. So even when you decide to rent a house as an independent (without middle man) it probably helps to schedule an appointment with an agent for you to be enlightened about how this works in the UK, England, or London - a nation where medieval or feudal laws may still apply in some cases.
Oh that is just a sh1t situation all around. I live in Canada, it's incredibly hard to find somewhere to live that's affordable and safe, these days. I have friends who are stuck in the worst dives because they literally cannot find anywhere to go to, and some who had to move back home (who were lucky enough to have the option) like me... Honestly, I understand that it happens, and it is also legal to do that here as well(and you *_only have to give 60 days notice if its between Oct-April months, otherwise its only 30 days notice for a month-to-month default rental_* even). Reclaiming a property to use personally is one of those always allowed things, so long as the proper notice is given. It feels like it shouldn't be allowed, but it is. If they don't move in, or they move someone else in, then there's some recourse to be had... but otherwise, you basically just have to go. It's heartbreaking! I really hope you are able to find a new place, and that its even better than this place was! Also, if possible, see if you can get a 2-3 year lease instead of a 1 year, to try to put more time in your pocket.
Sorry to hear that. Hope you both are doing fine. Did they at least refund you rent for remaining months? I'm looking to move to UK, and hopefully would not face the same situation
I totally understand my Norwegian gf now much better from following Maddy. Kind , sensitive, intelligent, caring , don’t worry Maddy you will land on your feet. 👌
Giiiiirl I'm poor if for some reason I getting evicted I have no family, have to get storage, and have to go to a shelter. Section 8 has not been open in 10 years and veteran's like me have no housing unless you're a man or your kid's live with you.
The landlord who pays the mortgage on the property you say wants to move back into the property he owns. you had a 12 month lease. Maybe the landlord worked abroad or away and has lost his job. If you wanted the complete certainty of a 2-3 year let there are many landlords who would offer that and perhaps next time it would be good to take advice on the lease next time. Flat prices have gone up as mortgage interest rates have risen from 2 percent to 6 percent. Many landlords are not on fixed rate mortgages.
Something needs to be done about no fault evictions. My ex has had to move three times now through no fault of her own. I get things happen and landlords have their reasons. But the time frame is far too short a notice, in my opinion at least.
@@adamkarlb6329 I think it should be at least doubled. 2 months sounds a lot but to estate agents that’s a blink of an eye. I’m not against landlords. It’s their property and they have to be able to do what is needed. However with the price of housing in England these days, tenants have to be protected. Of course it would be better if more people were able to afford to buy their own houses in the first place. I know the current market value of my house and it’s insane how much it’s got up in 20 years. My first house in cornwall was sold for just 17k back in 91. 30 years later and it’s worth around 275k A 16 times increase. I’m damn sure wages haven’t increased by 16x in line with it.
@@melonmelon7427 I wasn’t talking about this exact situation. I mentioned no fault evictions. If you come to the end of the tenancy agreement and have not secured a new one, then that is on them. That’s not the point I was bringing up. Don’t be ridiculous! Try reading comprehension instead!
@@jaynbob42 you try and comment adequately then. This lady claims she was kicked out and she wasn’t, that was misleading. She was given 2.5 months notice the contract won’t be renewed which is a long amount of notice.
Is that legal? I live in the Netherlands, and I am not exactly sure what the law is, but I am pretty sure this is not possible here. At least not without offering an alternative, or not at all. This shouldn’t be possible, and I feel for you greatly. As a landlord, I believe it’s thoroughly unethical to kick renters out with a two month-notice. Fucked up.
five hundred pounds per week is about twenty five thousand pounds per year. If you pay that in rent until you get to my age then you'll will have spent almost three quarters of a million pounds which you will never see again. I'm sure you can get a hundred percent mortgage and you can own your own apartment where is no landlord to throw you out, you will have a financial asset that will help you as life goes on. And you will not get to my age without anything to your name. I'm so desperate to buy a property myself, I've never really been a stable financial situation and never really known which city I want to live in. So now I'm getting close to my fifties and I'm still renting. Don't make the same mistake as I have, don't throw away hundreds of thousands of pounds away on rent that you will never see again.
Deposit is more important that how much you can pay as mortgage. 1st time buyer deposit is 65k on average. So unless their parents can help - no way you can go to a bank and just argue you can pay up 96% mortgage for a few thousand as down deposit. Plus you need to pass a stress test because interest rate are 4.25% right now….so yeah young people pay way more in rent but can save to buy. But I totally understand- I hate paying rent and I would love to buy but I can’t save enough so I’m looking for a second job just to allow me to do that. The U.K. housing market is insane.
Have you considered something NOT in UK? ... Like; Nice, France, or Cannes, or one of the smaller villages inbetween? Is like vacation every day. Food is inexpensive and healthy. Can walk almost everywhere. It is very international so English is fine, but, you also have excuse to learn French? Lots of business opportunity with Riviera Billionaires everywhere? Monaco is very close, and even more business opportunity there with all the expendable wealth? ... also if you eventually buy property there, it is very safe invest because price always goes up guarantee on French Riviera.
FFS - you have over 2 months to find another place. Change your mindset: Find a place you like better and is cheaper - this is called the game within the game. Let s go!! Get excited about this challenge and make this unexpected eviction the best thing that ever happened to you.
I agree, but I also feel like it's also OK to feel frustrated and sad. Both excitement and sadness are valid responses. There have been occasions where I've been stoic and pushed back any sadness, and on occasion, it's been to my detriment. Sometimes, you push down the bad feelings, but they remain in the subconscious.
@@ellemred I agree with your comment. Give yourself time to grieve/ wallow - and then get in the game to win:). I always try to turn a loss into a win - so much fun.
I know you’re young and so you haven’t been in this situation many times, but you need to try and not take this so personally. It’s annoying and sad but you need to move on. You rent the flat, it’s not yours, and the owner has the right to reclaim it when they need it even without reason.

So is it so wrong of her to want to find a place in a good neighborhood
I get you gurl.. I've been living in Singapore for 7 years now, and have moved out 5 times since.. Hope you'll find a suitable place
Just found you channel because I started looking for moving tips. My husband and I just moved the 1st of July also not because we wanted to, but because the house we lived in is getting sold. (Long story)
We had a month to find a new place and pack so feel you pain.
We found a good place and its starting to feel like home.
Hope you guys feel that too.
And you got a new Scadi follower
thank you so much!! and good luck with the whole process ☺️
Good luck to you, no need to worry you'll find something :)
Good luck and hope you find something soon. Sucks when life throws these things at you. Stay strong, you will be okay
Sad to hear about the news, hoping to find the best for you😊
This is a great oportunity, move and be freaking happy, I love the Notting Hill One
This happened to me too in London. You’ll find somewhere else even though it’s annoying.
Oh gosh! I’m so sorry and sad to hear that. In solidarity; I know what this situation is like. 💗💗💗
It’s not weird, you are losing something; it’s a part of the grieving process…
I am hoping and praying you find a place in time that is to your liking despite what the housing climate may be like in your area.
Lol I don’t live in the UK but I want to try that brownie mix.
i hope you find a place soon and hope it is as homely as this one.
wishing you good luck for your shift!
I hope you find a new flat soon x❤
Thank you ❤️🩹❤️🩹
@@macerly we ❤️ u Macerly
Maida Vale/Warwick Avenue/Little Venice is lovely! Great areas to live in.
Cheer up girl!! I am sure you will find a even better place to stay!!! It takes time
Buy your own place so nobody can take it from you. The home belongs to the landlord, once the lease ends there are no promises. The only way to keep this from happening is a longterm (multi- year) rental or purchase your own place.
this is so heartbreaking to watch. I wish you all the luck in the world that you find something magical.
Don’t worry too much. I’m getting evicted too. I applied to a 60 days breathing space to give me some time to find somewhere else to live but honestly with the rise of interest rates landlords are selling. Sometimes I see flats for SALE AND for RENT at the same time because landlords are cornered. It’s not easy but for tenants 1 flats has 2-5 competing people and not only in London. I live in Surrey and have the same issues. Prices went up by 200 GBP for sure.
We will get there! I really hope
I like your balanced statement here. I rented for a decade (some horror stories in there) and now I own and sometimes the comments I see from renters are so ignorant as there is an assumption all landlords are rolling in money. Property owners are getting totally hammered by interest rates and inflation (think insurance, repair costs, maintenance costs etc) and it’s nice to see someone gets this as I think landlords get vilified a lot.
I hope you will soon find a new flat in one of your chosen areas! Good luck!
i’m sorry you’re losing the apartment but you’re very lucky he’s giving the time he is. i’ve had friends tell me their belongs have been thrown outside the door, stolen. all manor of horrific things. i hope you find a place that is better suited. i know you will. good luck! :)
Yess ahh we're really fortunate. I've also heard stories of people getting just a months notice - which is insane! How do you 1) find a flat, 2) view it, 3) offer 4) manage to win with that offer, 5) do the contract-signing face, 6) move out & arrange cleaning of your flat and 7) move into your new fla, in just that short of a time? Insane honestly
That’s illegal. You can’t force an eviction without going to court and getting a notice. And you certainly can’t enter the property as a landlord while a tenant is in, even if they’re out of contract. I know this from the person above me having to evict and absolute horror tenant. Your friends should take legal action for reimbursement if that really happened to them.
@@Julia36D I know right! Either these stories are from unsuspecting victims who don’t know their rights (which I’m guessing most are the case!) or a bit exaggerated if not fabricated as all those things described are completely illegal. It’s actually extremely difficult to evict a tenant on an AST. We took our landlord to court for harassment with an intent to evict and wanted the last 2 months worth of rent as that’s the period of harassment, was told to ask for more and the judge ended up awarding us with 9 months worth of rent!
besides the sad topic ... I really like your vlogs !!!
This exact thing happened to me. In a Crazy turn of events, I was able to rent the place next door. But shopping for an apartment you feel safe and comfortable in is stressful.
I was month-to-month until the leaseholder was like ending it. You have remaining month and next. I was trying to find a place after living in such a big space. Now I have a storage unit as my new room rental is smaller. It is considered a real bedroom. I’m anxious about the two months and then the following year if the landlord likes us, and let’s sign. I’m so terrified that I have to move again as stories have popped up on huge rent increases with rent renewals. I need golden girls home. I’m not joking. I can’t afford upkeep and maintenance and taxes of a property ever in my life. So many circumstances require multiple incomes to split cost. Good luck. Renting is only great if you understand the benefits and can move multiple times in life. You have to be ready to pack.
Gah it's an awful situation and very similar in Australia at the moment. Flats are getting rented without ever even going on the market etc
hope you find another one soon!!
thank you!!❤️
So sorry to hear that. You're such an interesting young lady. I wish you all the best..👍
sending love, luck and lots of new opportunities 🧸❤️🩹
wish u the best of luck ❤️
Kentish Town/tufnel park are lovely and your money goes surprisingly far xxx
I'm so sorry 🥲 I really am!
Ahh i wish you were looking in Hammersmith as I could have dm'd you some properties we have! 😥
No worries! You will find a better place
I promise something good will come out of this negative situation - try to look for the silver lining! xx
I can't wait to see where life will take you next. This just a bump for now. You will always do well I am sure of it. 🙂
Head up! I´m sure you will find a super cool new flat!!
Sucks. And. Did you investigate what laws apply to homeowners and tenants? I don't know about the UK, but in my EUropean country, there are all sorts of protections of tenants. Homeowners who want or need flexibility, for example because they have to repatriate after having been sent abroad as expats for some time, will engage in contracts that are made to undercut or bypass such tenant protections. People who naively step into such legal vehicles would be surprised of being evicted at some point. Next to for how long the contract is agreed, tenant protection may also depend on the amount of rent you pay or your income, a license from the municipality to live there, etc.. So even when you decide to rent a house as an independent (without middle man) it probably helps to schedule an appointment with an agent for you to be enlightened about how this works in the UK, England, or London - a nation where medieval or feudal laws may still apply in some cases.
Oh that is just a sh1t situation all around. I live in Canada, it's incredibly hard to find somewhere to live that's affordable and safe, these days. I have friends who are stuck in the worst dives because they literally cannot find anywhere to go to, and some who had to move back home (who were lucky enough to have the option) like me... Honestly, I understand that it happens, and it is also legal to do that here as well(and you *_only have to give 60 days notice if its between Oct-April months, otherwise its only 30 days notice for a month-to-month default rental_* even).
Reclaiming a property to use personally is one of those always allowed things, so long as the proper notice is given. It feels like it shouldn't be allowed, but it is. If they don't move in, or they move someone else in, then there's some recourse to be had... but otherwise, you basically just have to go. It's heartbreaking! I really hope you are able to find a new place, and that its even better than this place was!
Also, if possible, see if you can get a 2-3 year lease instead of a 1 year, to try to put more time in your pocket.
you will find a better place ! ❤
Sorry to hear that. Hope you both are doing fine.
Did they at least refund you rent for remaining months? I'm looking to move to UK, and hopefully would not face the same situation
Yes yes I did. Related to that, everything went okay❤️
Although this situation really sucks, I know you will be able to find a new perfect home!
london has so many amazing waiting for you!! all the best maddie🫶🏻
Everything happens for a reason ❤️

They were talking about no fault evictions being banned.
Giiiiirl I'm poor if for some reason I getting evicted I have no family, have to get storage, and have to go to a shelter. Section 8 has not been open in 10 years and veteran's like me have no housing unless you're a man or your kid's live with you.
The landlord who pays the mortgage on the property you say wants to move back into the property he owns. you had a 12 month lease. Maybe the landlord worked abroad or away and has lost his job. If you wanted the complete certainty of a 2-3 year let there are many landlords who would offer that and perhaps next time it would be good to take advice on the lease next time. Flat prices have gone up as mortgage interest rates have risen from 2 percent to 6 percent. Many landlords are not on fixed rate mortgages.
Something needs to be done about no fault evictions. My ex has had to move three times now through no fault of her own. I get things happen and landlords have their reasons. But the time frame is far too short a notice, in my opinion at least.
2 months?
What do you think should be the minimum of an eviction notice with no fault?
@@adamkarlb6329 I think it should be at least doubled. 2 months sounds a lot but to estate agents that’s a blink of an eye. I’m not against landlords. It’s their property and they have to be able to do what is needed. However with the price of housing in England these days, tenants have to be protected.
Of course it would be better if more people were able to afford to buy their own houses in the first place. I know the current market value of my house and it’s insane how much it’s got up in 20 years. My first house in cornwall was sold for just 17k back in 91. 30 years later and it’s worth around 275k A 16 times increase. I’m damn sure wages haven’t increased by 16x in line with it.
Its not an eviction. They signed a 12 m contract. There is no obligation to renew! Don’t be ridiculous ...
@@melonmelon7427 I wasn’t talking about this exact situation. I mentioned no fault evictions. If you come to the end of the tenancy agreement and have not secured a new one, then that is on them. That’s not the point I was bringing up.
Don’t be ridiculous! Try reading comprehension instead!
@@jaynbob42 you try and comment adequately then. This lady claims she was kicked out and she wasn’t, that was misleading. She was given 2.5 months notice the contract won’t be renewed which is a long amount of notice.
But if you signed a contract, is it legal for the landlord to move back in? That seems odd, in Canada we have tenant board and rights protecting us.
It turns over every 12 months. The owner can legally opt to move back in if he wants to. He owns it.
Its probably just trick to get them out and rent for more...
in your new place see if you can sign a 24 month lease.
Is the Dyson worth it's price ?
Have you watched the movie ANNA ??,if you haven't then you should !
Is that legal? I live in the Netherlands, and I am not exactly sure what the law is, but I am pretty sure this is not possible here. At least not without offering an alternative, or not at all. This shouldn’t be possible, and I feel for you greatly. As a landlord, I believe it’s thoroughly unethical to kick renters out with a two month-notice. Fucked up.
five hundred pounds per week is about twenty five thousand pounds per year. If you pay that in rent until you get to my age then you'll will have spent almost three quarters of a million pounds which you will never see again.
I'm sure you can get a hundred percent mortgage and you can own your own apartment where is no landlord to throw you out, you will have a financial asset that will help you as life goes on. And you will not get to my age without anything to your name.
I'm so desperate to buy a property myself, I've never really been a stable financial situation and never really known which city I want to live in. So now I'm getting close to my fifties and I'm still renting. Don't make the same mistake as I have, don't throw away hundreds of thousands of pounds away on rent that you will never see again.
Deposit is more important that how much you can pay as mortgage. 1st time buyer deposit is 65k on average. So unless their parents can help - no way you can go to a bank and just argue you can pay up 96% mortgage for a few thousand as down deposit. Plus you need to pass a stress test because interest rate are 4.25% right now….so yeah young people pay way more in rent but can save to buy.
But I totally understand- I hate paying rent and I would love to buy but I can’t save enough so I’m looking for a second job just to allow me to do that. The U.K. housing market is insane.
Greetings from my beautiful country El Salvador 🇸🇻🇸🇻🇸🇻💙🌏
I know it’s hard, just remember there’s a plan to everyone’s life and this is a part of yours
Is he your brother?
The landlord sounds like a real piece of work. 💥👊
Just remember life is not fair.
Gud luck 🤠🤠🤠
We have got lovely flat for rent in Greenwich
Have you considered something NOT in UK? ... Like; Nice, France, or Cannes, or one of the smaller villages inbetween? Is like vacation every day. Food is inexpensive and healthy. Can walk almost everywhere. It is very international so English is fine, but, you also have excuse to learn French? Lots of business opportunity with Riviera Billionaires everywhere? Monaco is very close, and even more business opportunity there with all the expendable wealth? ... also if you eventually buy property there, it is very safe invest because price always goes up guarantee on French Riviera.
FFS - you have over 2 months to find another place. Change your mindset: Find a place you like better and is cheaper - this is called the game within the game. Let s go!! Get excited about this challenge and make this unexpected eviction the best thing that ever happened to you.
I agree, but I also feel like it's also OK to feel frustrated and sad. Both excitement and sadness are valid responses. There have been occasions where I've been stoic and pushed back any sadness, and on occasion, it's been to my detriment. Sometimes, you push down the bad feelings, but they remain in the subconscious.
@@ellemred I agree with your comment. Give yourself time to grieve/ wallow - and then get in the game to win:). I always try to turn a loss into a win - so much fun.
I hope you find a better home then
Are you crying OMG it’s oki please don’t be sad I’m sure this happened for a reason you will find a new better home that you deserve
The one at Notting hill is the cutest in my opinion
I know you’re young and so you haven’t been in this situation many times, but you need to try and not take this so personally. It’s annoying and sad but you need to move on. You rent the flat, it’s not yours, and the owner has the right to reclaim it when they need it even without reason.
