Wondering if anyone can advise on this
My girlfriend moved into her flat in June last year on a 6 month fixed tenancy. Landlady now wants to sell and emailed her 1 months notice yesterday. I thought 2 months was the standard notice period, but looking at the tenancy agreement it says 1 month - is this enforceable?
On a separate point the LL has been awkward recently as there were problems with the boiler which she didnt like having to pay for. My gf keeps the flat spotless, but she got an email yesterday warning her she wouldnt get her deposit back until a full inspection had been carried out by the LL, and is worried. I asked her if the deposit is in the new protection scheme and she said the LL told her she was keeping it in her personal savings account - is this allowed?
Can she force the LL to put deposit in a scheme before she moves out next month as this would ensure she didnt get ripped off out of her deposit.
Any thoughts welcome!
