Hi all,
I have received an Eviction notice (notice requiring possession under Section 8 & 21 of Housing Act 1988) (in fact several during the last 6 months but they were wrong and a correct one just a month ago) from my landlord. In the letter I have two months notice to leave the property (deadline is 28 January 2012).
I have a one year Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreement that will end on 29 December 2012, but I have not found another accommodation due to my sickness.
When I went to see a Citizen Advice Bureau, they have told me that it after the given deadline I still in the property the landlord could sent me to the court and I will have the opportunity to to give my point of view to the judge: the problem is that the landlord could mislead me or her representative (other tenant) could destroy the notification letter from the Court so I could not attempt the trial.
Also, I would like to know if I should send a form 244 to the court by today or if it is better to wait for the Eviction court hearing.
Thanks in advance for your help,

Ps : The landlord had tried to unlawfully evict me several times few months ago.
My rent payment is presently up to date but I had two weeks delay during the last 10 months due to the Housing Benefit payment delay.
