I've been there. About 10 years ago, I was renting a flat that was repossessed because the landlord wasn't paying the mortgage. On receiving the first notice, I spoke to a solicitor who told me I had no rights whatsoever and there would be an eviction notice in due course. So I stopped paying the rent, and waited to be evicted, which came 4 months later.
Only problem was that I only ended up with 7 days notice of eviction, rather than the 28 days I'd been led to believe, which caused lots of grief and I ended up in a B&B for a week. But still, 4 months of rent free living wasn't bad at all. I bought a new car with the money I'd saved.
