If my Landlord gets reposessed, what rights do I have as a tenant?greenspun.com : LUSENET : Repossession : One Thread |
My Landlord has a "buy to let" mortgage, but has defaulted due to illness.The Halifax has written to me saying it is repossessing and I must leave within 3 months.
It says in my tenancy contract that "The .tenancy may be brought to an end if the mortgagee requires possession on default of the borrower under ground 2, schedule 2 of .the Housing Act 1988"
I am disabled and it would be very difficult for me to move out.
Is there any way I can fight this - eg. human rights act?
Anyone know any lawyers in London who might have experience in these cases?
Thanks
Thanks for any help.

Contact the Citizen's Advice Bureau nearest to you. They usually have very good resource on various issues and I believe they will be able to help a great deal with legal advice and/or action.
