How much notice does a landlord have to give a tenant to move out ?
With the information you have posted I can only be general. The vast majority of private rented tenants are assured shorthold tenants. Your sister will automatically have an assured shorthold tenancy if (a) she moved in on or after 28 February 1997 and (b) she pays rent to a private landlord and (c) she has control over her home so that her landlord and other people cannot come in whenever they want to (exclusive possession) and her landlord does not live in the same building. An assured shorthold tenancy is a tenancy that gives your sister a legal right to live in her home for a period of time. The tenancy might be for a set period such as six months (this is known as a fixed term tenancy). Or it might run on a week-to-week or month-to-month basis (this is known as a periodic tenancy) after an initial fixed term The law gives rights to (a) get information about the tenancy (b) control her home so that your sister can stop other people from freely entering (including the landlord) (c)
