    It appears from you other thread that you are in rent arrears as your co tenant wasn’t paying the LL. As you don’t have part 4 rights yet and it would appear you are a licensee, not a lot you can do. The only sticking point may be that you were a a licensee of your co tenant, so he/she has to give you notice, but as he/she has moved out, presumably you are now a licensee of whomever he assigned the tenancy to ie the owner. Bear in mind, if you claim you have tenancy rights, in all probability you would become responsible for payment of full monthly rent of the property if tenants are joined and severely liable on the lease.

    Time to pack your bags I’m afraid.

    It seems your former housemate ripped you off. Probably took your deposit too

    Unfortunately you have no rights whatsoever. They are being decent in giving you a week as they could simply turf you out.

    My guess is they will give it a deep clean and then have the new tenants move in on March 1st.

    At least you seem to be happy to share a room and this is a lot easier that looking for a full property.

    No notice needed for a licencee
