Hi. I signed a 12 month lease in July 2025 and my lease expires July 2026. I was just served a section 21 notice today. I don’t love my rental flat, I would be more upset if I did. But still, moving into a flat and getting evicted a year later is annoying cause moving sucks. but not only that - when i moved in I sent a complaint to the foxtons that the floor was peeling - shifting around, not safe, and walls were cracked. it took 6 months for the landlord to agree to address this. anyway, i’m scorned - and the new law comes into play in a few weeks. I don’t want to move out in july and would like a month to month agreement (as the new law provides). but anyway i’m out of luck it seems as the notice as given to me before May 1st. however - I was wondering if there were any legal angles I could push to help my request for a short term extension? a) my lease ends after the new law kicks in b) I asked for renovation for a while and c) my eipc report in my 21 notice is ‘unsatisfactory’ from 15/07/2021
