I don't know how it is the UK, but usually there is a contract period and a minimum period to respect to break the contract.
I don’t know how it its where you live/the UK but there is probably a special clause/law that allows the owner to end the contract if they want to use the property themselves.
Edit: Downvote as much as you want but at least in Germany and France such clauses exist.
In France there is such a clause, but applicable only if the owner plans to rent to a family member of theirs, iirc
Same here in Germany and I would assume it is pretty common.
This seems incorrect as far as I understand the source. You still have to respect the contract end date if you recover it for yourself or family. It is just one of the legitimate reasons to block the automatic renewal of the contract. https://www.service-public.fr/particuliers/vosdroits/F929/personnalisation/resultat?lang=&quest0=1&quest=
Yes, this is what I meant. Thanks for clarifying
Downvoting because you know damn well how tight the rental market is. You're not guaranteed to find a new apartment in the grace period you have before your eviction is due. Moving also incurs significant time and cost for moving your stuff, lost work days, and the rent which is sure to be higher.
That is my point! You can’t rely on a minimum clause when your landlord can evict you by claiming they want to live there themselves.
I never claimed that that I like this or that this somehow good. The housing market is a steaming pile of shit pretty much worldwide.
As a renters we(!) need be very aware of local laws and regulations regarding rent. Own use claim is not the only way to get evicted: in some cases fixing something in your flat might by regarded as a violation of contract and you’re out.
I have an old contract in one of tightest markets in Germany. If I had to move out my rent would triple.
So yes, I’m aware of the shit market - take my comment as a heads up, not a praise of the situation.
Fair enough, I'm sorry, that's my bad, I totally misinterpreted your comment.
well i guess it's fine, then. got myself all worked up over nothing
