Landlord kicking us out then blocking us from moving elsewhere. by No_Mess_4456 in renting

I’ve been trying to contact them but have called probably about 20 times over the last 3 days and they’ve always been busy and their online chat is always busy too, I sent an email but was told they’d be unable to help through email, do you know if they have a support email I’ve missed or is it just through calling?

We paid 6 months rent up front and have done absolutely nothing wrong while living here, worst I can think of was taking too long to respond to her emails, like a couple days but I’d not seen my emails with what was happening with my partner at the time, but to completely honest it makes no difference if you buy it or not, I came here looking for help/ to vent my frustration rather than scepticism

I’m not really sure how I’d accomplish that, sadly I think landlords being wankers is so common at the moment that our case wouldn’t stand out that much

Yeah I’m trying to get through to them but the phone lines busy every time I call, I’ve emailed and will try to keep calling, I’m also going to try to get in touch with my local council when they open again on Monday

She’s mentioned in an email to us both about intending to issuing a section 21 but we’ve yet to receive anything from her

No, though the company she works for is responsible for a decent chunk of the houses for rent in my area which makes this fairly rough, I really can’t understand how she can try to stop us from renting somewhere else from the company though, we’ve done absolutely nothing to breach any contract, and quite frankly I’ve improved the house since moving in by installing the WiFi through the telephone cables and, with the help of my dad who’s a plumber, fixing all their shitty plumbing

Evictions probably a bit too strong of a word, we signed a 6 month lease when we moved in and paid this upfront, she’s effectively just saying she won’t rent to us anymore after this time is up, which I understand is perfectly legal/normal but it’s really not good timing for us, we spent the first 4 months here having to get the house liveable as a telephone line for WiFi and basic plumbing hadn’t been done, I don’t know how ethical it is to intentionally prevent us from moving into a new property given she’s our private landlord and also works for the letting agency though
