I only know because I had to start eviction proceedings on a “friend” who rented a flat from me.so I had to do all the legal stuff ( well my solicitor did the work) and it was a year ago the notice started. Scotland brought out law (might not have been a law but I can’t really think of another word for it) during Covid that you couldn’t evict anyone.that only ended in march this year.so my solicitor started the 84 days to end when the law changed back in march.and had my tenant not gone we would have had to go to a tribunal as the the next stage. It was actually a nightmare as I needed to sell that flat . I know landlords have a bad name and people think that we are profiting on the back of people who can’t get a mortgage to buy. But people also don’t realise that the tenant has a lot more rights than the landlord.
If beefy has been given her 84 days notice but decides she is staying put. The landlord could have a fight on her hands. Beefy has a lot of legal and justifiable reasons not to go .
Sorry that was a long rant there x

Would of never thought that a tenant would have more rights than the landlord that's so bloody messed up that a landlord would need to take it to a tribunal and for you to be out of pocket. That's so messed up xx

Burnt my fingers anyway .wont be doing that again. I was just very lucky that I did not have to go all the way through the courts.
I would love to tell the whole story which is horrific.but I don’t think this is the place.but despite the horror,he still would have had rights.
So utterly messed up x
