Forced signing of undertaking by rwa for tenant

We are going into the second year of our tenancy and the landlord is happy for us to continue. The RWA however is asking us to sign an undertaking. We have already done so previously. This time they have added many clauses. The main issue we have is with a clause that they have added regarding we not having any objection to RWA evicting us in 48 hours if any neghbour or other people in socity have any issues with us.

Is this legal? I mean 48 hours is not enough even to file for a stay order. Please advice.

If we refuse to sign it what options do we have? The RWA controls electricity connections and can cause issues in bill submission etc.

Sufficient time must be given to the tenant as per general principles of justice. Periodic tenancies run on a week-by-week or month-by-month basis with no fixed end date.

If you have one of these, your landlord must usually give you ‘notice to quit’ - they must do this in a certain way depending on your type of tenancy agreement and its terms.
