Hi ive been operating a cafe for nearly 5 yrs which i took over from someone else. Before new landlords took over the site everyone on the site had to sign a 6 months tenancy licence at time no one knew it was being sold got told it was for site insurance. My 6 months run out 8 months ago and ive been trying to sort a new tenancy/lease.
The cafe was always maintained by landlords no problem in past the new landlord wont do anything. I had water pooring in above electrics, begged for 6 months to do work for holes as its a portacabin cafe because rats were on the site and had no pest control and in tenancy states i cant do no work myself. In dec 2024 rats got in i had to shut and they atill did no work. Then before xmas we was discussing a way forward. Then january 2025 i get tols u need to leave you got 48 hrs? Then said 7 days then 30 days. Ive since learnt that the tenancy is for container not a business so not even legal and worst its under B8 use which is storage and distribution not A3 for cafe use. I dont know where i stand or how long ive legally got to leave can they just remove me physically or do i have rights. The stress is unreal. I have found somewhere to go close by but ive lost a fortune, had no income emotional stress has been unreal they wont talk or communicate wirh me answer questions…? Anyone have knowledge
