my step sister, her boyfriend and their son live in the uk.
they have been in rented accomadation for over a yr now, without a tenancy agreement,landlord refuses to give them one.they pay their rent every month, but have gotten behind.they have no proof of paying rent because they have no rent book or reciepts,they have got behind a couple of months rent,and the landlord said to them today that they will be out before christmas if they dont get a loan or something to get the money together.theres no way they can do that, they are on a very low income.i understand they have squatters rights and that the landlord must still get a court order to get them out, but where do they stand if he makes his way into the house?they just need to stay in the house till just after christmas, and are happy to go in a bed and breakfast for a short time after christmas but they dont want to ruin the 2 yr old sons christmas by moving before in a b&b. is there any hope to stay put till new year? plz help.

its a private landlord, not through estate agents if that makes any difference. they have proof of bills to prove how long they have been in there.

the landlord owns the business under their flat, they pay cash every month. the council will give them a bed and breakfast for emergency accomodation untill they have the money together to move

How can they afford a bed and breakfast if they can't make rent? Don't they have the cancelled checks to the landlord as proof of payment? This doesn't make much sense.
