Hi all we originally had a contact till December 2026, and have been living in our London flat for 18 months.

With the new Renters rights act this is obviously a rolling basis.

Our letting agent has been trying to arranges viewings so the landlord can sell. I’m a bit confused if this is legal or not. Some places seem to say we need to be given 4 months notice, and they need to use a section 8.

And some seem to say as long as it’s not in the first 12 months it’s fine.

Do we need to provide access?

An added complexity is our letting agent says the owner has been tricked into a three month contact with an estate agency and doesn’t actually have the intention to sell? (I don’t get it either)
