My home is tied to my partners job.
He resigned recently and we have just been verbally informed we have 2-4 weeks to move family out.
We have NOT had written notice, where do we stand??
Please answer if you have advice.

Yours best answer so far, if you please see this please answer.
Are you a landlord in U.K?
We have no tenancy agreement or contreact of employment. Does this matter?

He has the same rights as any other tenant. Under housing Law, his Landlord (doesn't matter that it is his employer) has to give two months notice in writing asking you to leave. Remember that is Law, so stay put and don't be miss led - the fact that his landlord is also his employer does not alter your rights, or their responsibilities in any way whatsoever.
The only complication is if he is living rent free as part of the package. If this is the case he will be liable for the rent from the time his employment ended.

I`m not 100% sure about this one, you`ll need to speak to the CAB.
However, I rent the house we are in, on a yearly contract. About 3 months before the tenancy period ends, we get a notice to quit from the letting agency even though they know we want to continue, and they will renew.
I asked about it years back, and apparently its a legal requirement meaning that if the landlord doesn't want to renew the tenancy at the end of the period, he can apply to the court to have us evicted fairly quickly.
So my understanding is, without this, although they can tell you to go, they can't legaly get you out straight away and have to go through the courts if you refuse to go which can take months.
So check with the CAB about this, as they may not be able to get you out so quickly.
However, they could refuse to give a reference if you refuse to go which your partner may need to get another job. You will also have to go at some stage in the near future, so best to start looking around as soon as possible.

If your home was tied to your partners job and he gave notice to resign then you must leave the home. He will effectively have given notice to leave the house by resigning. Check the terms and conditions of his contract of employment as it will probably be covered in these.
His now ex-employer is not a charity and maybe he should have thought a little more carefully of the consequnces of resigning from employment before doing so.

Ummm .... I think your Partner gave notice to his Employer that he was leaving ?
Normally all work property has to returned on the date of Employment ends .. in which case the Employer is being quite generous allowing you to stay for another 2-4 weeks...
.. after all, I expect the Employer needs the house for the new employee ?

If you are in the UK, go to the local councils housing department. They will advise you of your rights.
The Citizens advice bureau are also very helpful.
