Hi everyone, hope someone can help me.
My family and I have been renting the same house for 4 years, with no additional tenancy agreement signed since we moved in. The landlord has now passed over the house to his son (although I don't know if ownership has been passed over) who the rent is now payable to. The son has just put a 2 line note through my door, dated 20th August, stating that the rent on the property will increase to £600pcm (9% increase), from 1st September. Where do I stand with this. Can he do this, is it legal that I have no tenancy agreement with the son, can I ask for a new tenancy agreement before paying more rent.
Any help would be gratefully received.
