Why shud i wen she is never in? I cant even get her number! Please help xxx

Answer:
I assume your landlady lives in the same building as you? If not, ignore this. What will you do if the landlady says she did not get the notice? Where did you leave the note, and how do you know it had gone? Could she claim someone else must have taken it? You need to be able to prove you gave the correct period of notice. In a shared house, the only real way of getting such proof is to have someone witness you putting it through the letterbox or under the door.

Its best if you give your landlord notice in writing rather than verbally. That way, she can't claim you didn't tell her you were moving. Send her a letter, Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested. She'll have to sign for the letter and you'll get a receipt with her signature, so you can prove you notified her and she got the letter.

You send her a letter by recorded delivery, keeping a copy. Easy. You can write in it that you have already given her written notice, that she has clearly received it, and that the letter is just to confirm. by the way it is 'must HAVE' received it. Make sure your letter is understandable.

Previous person put just what I was going to say Put it in writing again, mention the previous note but this time send it recorded delivery. Always worth the extra postage! Good luck.

Send a Letter via Mail and don't forget a RETURN RECEIPT....then you are covered. ===GOD WILLS IT===
You should have sent a letter certified mail with a return receipt. You should ALWAYS give notice in writing, not verbally. Since you didn't get the note to her until now, she can make you pay for an additional month (or week depending on how your lease is set up). I have never had my landlords acknowledge that they received my termination notice except for scheduling showings to potential tenants.

this notice needs to be accomplished via mail. you need actual proof of the notification. keep a copy for yourself. sign and send the copy via certified mail with return receipt via post office. this is legally correct manner to handle the problem. make sure you give exact date of your departure.

If you wrote in the note the day you were leaving, and you mentioned in the note that you were giving your two weeks notice, then you already gave notice. You should write a letter via mail witha signature requested to make sure that you are legally covered.

send the landlord a certified letter.

Hi Ashley Very strange set up because if you are in a bedsit, the landlady lives below you so surely you must hear her moving her sad, tired, fat old carcass below your bedsit when she is in?? What sort of written agreement did you sign when you moved into the bedsit? You will have to check it to see if you are allowed to give just 2 weeks notice to move or whether the tenancy agreement specifies a month's notice. How do you pay her? By direct debit or in cash? If in cash you must obviously see her when you pay your rent. How long have you been in the place? If you have only been there for a month and now find it too expensive you are going to find it impossible to move out on 2 weeks notice. How is it that you don't even have her number if she lives in the same house as you? Normally people only let out bedsits in their own houses? What can she hold against you if you move out? How much deposit have you paid her? Since your landlady has NOT acknowledged your note giving her 2 weeks notice, it means legally she has NOT received it. So you now have to send her an official letter giving her the notice by Recorded Delivery and will have to wait and pay rent till then. Sorry Ashley, I'm not trying to be judgemental but it seems from what you have written above that you have simply decided to "take off" within 2 weeks from your current place and you are hoping for a miracle solution from someone on Yahoo Answers that will allow you to do it. Unfortunately in the real world you have to follow certain procedures when you have signed some sort of agreement to rent any place, even if its a bedsit. The law is there to protect both tenants like yourself and your landlady from unfair behaviour from the other party.
