Unhappy Problem with landlord in London

Hello all,

Curently I rent in LONDON a house with 7 others housemates.

This house belong to a man who rent it to a woman.

This woman doesn't want to be payed by bank transfert.
Can she compel to be paid by cash?

I think she doesn't declar all his money due to this fact.
Do I have a solution to know if she declare his money or to control her?

She wants to expulse me in 2 weeks.
Can she do that?
She says I am bad in the house: don't do the housework... (But it is totally wrong)
For information I have signed a document which said she can expulse me when she wants. But when I have signed I didn't understand.

Thanks for your help. Sorry I am French my English isn't so good.

Default Re: Problem with landlord in London

The woman is the official tenant, you and your roommates are sub-tenants. The man is the LL for her, she is the LL for you and your roommates. She can dictate the type of payments you must give to her, but always demand a receipt if you pay in cash. No LL has to accept a check, money order, or bank transfer. They are free to chose their form of payment. Whether she declares it on her taxes or not is her problem. They can pursue her for it later if she fails to declare.

What does your lease document say about the length of term (is it a monthly term or for a year)? If it is a monthly term, she does have the right to ask you to vacate the unit with the proper notice for your area. (In the US, a month to month agreement normally means you must be given 30 days notice to vacate in most areas, although some places have shorter periods.) You will have to check local laws to see how much notice she must give you in your area. The length of notice can be different depending on what area of a country you live in. Check for a local law to be sure. If it says 14 days notice, she can ask you to leave within that period for any reason.

You may want to do a google search on London Tenant rights. That may help to explain your rights under thri laws. Good luck.
