The best book is defending possession proceedings by nic madge, jan luba et al. The definitive text for this side of housing law. Its a great book.Leave a comment:

Lawcruncher,

Tenant friendly tenancy agreements are hard to come by. Either use the goverment one or one you find in an up-to-date book published by a reputable publisher. Resist the temptation to make changes. As for getting to grips with proper procedure, again a book is probably your best bet.Leave a comment:

The government model agreement looks pretty good to me, and has the kind of checklists you're looking for.
Joining a landlord agreement usually gives access to a support service as well as their tried and tested agreements.

Most Landlord Friendly Tenancy Agreement
I've previously got burnt using an estate-agents tenancy agreement. I'm looking to revamp all my paperwork going forward. Is there consensus on the best and most landlord friendly tenancy agreement? If so, how do i get a copy?
Also is there a best-practice list for checking in a new tenant? I've seen that people make tenants sign a doc saying they've seen that all smoke alarms are working etc. If there's such a list - or you can detail the specific steps we should take when dealing with new tenants i'd be very appreciative.
Thx.

Nucecad - thanks.
I have S8 notice which expires in May (issued in May last year) but I have just issued mcol claim up to March. Do I need two months arrears to issue a possession claim based on S8 ?...16-04-2021, 14:27 PM -
Hello All
I am waiting for an eviction ban to be lifted but as time goes I lose hope that it will happen in the near future or ever. What then are our options to get our property back if the tenant never moves out ? My tenant won’t move out until bailiffs evict him. I have PO based...16-04-2021, 10:07 AM -
As far as I know, you can't serve a s8 notice and proceed to court when you already have a court order for possession.
You can't simply keep trying the same matter, it's an abuse of process.
Section 8 notices have mandatory and discretionary grounds.
Had you not got a s21 notice,...16-04-2021, 14:19 PM -
Not on the s8 for arrears if he pays them off before any ruling. - But the Possession Order that you say you already have from the s21 may still be valid.
That existing PO validity (if you later issue a s8 for arrears) is what I'm not sure about.
Of course any of this depends...16-04-2021, 13:55 PM -
If I issued S8 and he payed off the arrears then I would not be able to claim possession of the property. Is that right ?...16-04-2021, 13:45 PM

Or issue a MCOL for the arrears - especially if he has the money to pay - and keep issuing them every time he's in arrears.
Good Luck

If you are sure that he will pay the arrears if you issue an s8 then issuing that s8 seems an obvious move to me to get some money from him.
TBH I'm not sure that issuing a new s8 would cancel your existing s21 PO anyway? Someone with more legal eviction knowledge may comment on that....16-04-2021, 13:31 PM -
Slackjawedyokel - thanks. Optimism help as there is no other option.
I have made an offer/present to my T. to cancel many months of arrears for many thousands. Dead silence. So more ccjs to follow.
Good luck with the jab !...16-04-2021, 12:43 PM -

I have just spoken to a council officer who is trying to blame me as the landlord for tenants who put bulky waste into domestic bins.
Given that the council collects tax from the tenants should not they approach the tenants first?
What can a landlord do about messy tenants who do not follow...16-04-2021, 10:47 AM
