Check the contract, but if the notice is legit you've got to decide how cunty you are prepared to be.
Howard is right, if you fail to leave on the vacation date the owner has to apply to the courts for possession, that'll probably take enough time for you to be out on its own but if it doesn't you can still refuse to leave and the owner has to go back to get the bailiffs instructed by which time you'll defo be gone.
Bear in mind tho that if you ever get referenced on a future let it's not exactly an ideal tenant history and also that maybe actually the owner does need the house and you could be massively inconveniencing them.
These are my main worries.
A refusal to leave might make me a renting pariah.
I may well be massively inconveniencing her, but we have no other options. We could put our shit into storage for a month and move us all into a Linton Travel Tavern but I just can't afford it.
