Our landlord wants to sell the property and the guy at the estate agent in charge of the sale spoke to us and told us that we would automatically go onto a rolling contract where they had to give us 2 months notice and we had to give 1 month, which we were happy with and so said ok, trusting he would sort it all out.
However, it is now 2 weeks before our contract runs out and we had a phone call from the guy who deals with letting, saying that the sales guy was wrong and shouldn’t have got involved and asking us to pay to draw up a rolling contract that goes from any day of the month with 2 months notice from either party. We don’t want to do this, as we plan to move out ASAP, and we would gone anyway at the end of the contract, but we were taking our time as we thought it went onto this rolling one automatically, but now I am worried they can just chuck us in two weeks if we don’t say yes to the new rolling contract.
It doesn’t say anything about the terms of their notice to us in our contract. I know I should have got something in writing sooner, but I didn’t think they would mess us round like this! Any advice is very welcome!
I’m in the UK by the way…
