I'm about 3 months behind on my rent and I've resigned myself to leaving anyway.
I can't find my tennancy agreement so I'm not sure on the exact date I moved in but the rent is due on the 3rd of each month.
I have a private landlord and I'm waiting for him to take action to remove me, but I was wondering when he can do this fromand what the procedure is. I understand he needs to apply to a court to do this and someone told me if he gives me notice then the earliest I have to be out is 4 weeks from when my rent is next due.
Basically I need to extend the amount of time I have here for as long as possible to find somewhere else. My landlord isn't the understanding sort who will give me a bit more time, he'll try and get me out at the earliest opportunity.
I'm not sure what sort of tennancy I have but it's probably the most common type - I'm renting a 2 bedroomed house from a non 'professional' landlord.
Anyone know the score?

No. They have to go through the correct procedure.

I thought the same when my landlord tried to do that to me, but I soon punked that bitch with Section 33 of the Housing Act Scotland which says he's to give me like a months notice at least.
I'd be amazed if there wasn't something similar for Wales.
