i doubt the intent of my landlard because a couple of days back, the landlord send me an email that he wants to do a minor work and would like to sell the property. I replied that its fine with me and he would just need to tell me in advance and I would plan to return

now he has send me an email with an eviction notice knowing very well that i am in Alaska for work
Customer: replied 11 days ago.
Backgroud:- I am renting this place since February,2020. It is being rented via a letting agency and the renting agency has manged this since.
I live alone there. I travelled to US on 12 June for work and has been in US since then. I received an email a couple of days from my landlord that they would remove a tree from my garden and also that they are planning to sell the house. I replied that its fine with me and I would appreciate if they can let me know in advance(we have a 2 month prio-notice agreement).
Now, I received an email with a eviction notice under section 8(ground 13) and section 21. I am ok with section 21 but has serious issues with section 8.
1. The reasons that they have mentioned are incorrect and very vague. (Like that there was a seepage and I was living in a house where water was continuously dripping.)
2. I don’t want to agree with section 8 but if I evict within 15 days ( let say I plan an emergency travel from USA)- will it mean that I have agreed to their findings as per the notice.
3. Is there a legal process of asking someone from law enforcement to come ans visit the house and check the conditions and send an independent report
4. What will happen if I don’t agree to section 8 send by them
5. I have a fear that the landlord wants to put the whole cost of flooring of the top floor on me(which can amount to 1000s of dollars). Its an old house

i would like to leave the place as the relationship has become really bad. but i dont want to pay any extra amount for unjustified repair/damages as i have taken really good care of the house..
i believe the situation is like the landlord words against my words.. but how will the court decide?
Expert:  AlisonSolicitor replied 10 days ago.

The court will decide on the basis of the evidence and testimony of both parties.

Is there anything else I can answer for you today?
