They wont just barge in and say, "out you get, we're going to demolition the building now." There is no reason why you can't set up classes and run as normal as possible. You will be given a month's notice, at least, to move out.. so why not make the best of a bad situation? Sure, you will have to move premises at some point.. but you might have to do that anywhere that you move into.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97484268562654466.post-29820440366407978412015-01-08T16:34:02.128+00:002015-01-08T16:34:02.128+00:00Bloomin' ek!

Thanks for sharing your story. Getting a studio space is a distant dream for me but it's so helpful to know these crazy truths.

However, you've got solicitors on the case, and a lot of the time, scaring douchey landlords with threats of court or other legal action can work well. I've just been through a horrible few months with my ex landlord, and when we finally got to adjudication he completely gave up. A lot of them will see what they can get away with, because they're utter crooks - but when people get in their way they're actually massive babies about it all. I really hope this is the case for you, and you manage to get it all sorted out.

Don't put your dreams on hold permanently, give it a few months and then I'm sure you will be able to get those amazing ideas and plans in process.
