That’s unconscionable. You mean they can just throw people out because they feel like it? You don’t have to be late with the rent or anything?
Yeah, they are called no-fault evictions in the UK. It's crazy and gives all the protection to landlords and almost none to tenants. I think the government are trying to change it because it is so unfair.
That sucks. Here they have to give you six months notice if they want to sell the building or something.
That would have made a difference to my dear mum. I think the elderly or sick should get even more protection, because their lives are at stake.
