Seeking repossession under section 8

29-12-2018, 15:40 PM

My tenant owes me three months rent. The section 8 notice has now expired so I can apply to the court for repossession order. However I have never done this before. I’m wondering if I should use a solicitor who charges £795 but that includes the court fees, or if I’m as well doing it myself.

Thanks for any advice.

Do you have legal cover on your insurance? This may include it

were going through the same thing. I’d be honest IMO I’d have a professional do it. After looking at threads and posts, if you mess the slightest thing up it could all go to waste and you’d have to start all over again

Go with s21 IIWY. They are not so easily defended.

Reply to Maintenance access home working tenants

by alex1

I’m a tenant. I had a new consumer unit fitted last week off the back of an EICR inspection. I was asked to not be in the property while the work was carried out (and I wouldn’t have wanted to be anyway, due to COVID, noise, and the general inconvenience of not having electricity, in that order)....

Reply to Notice period?

by KTC

Both section 21 (no reason) and section 8 (ground 1 or 13) are six months at the moment.

If we get to end of the month and the increase notice period is not extended, then s8g13 would only be 2 weeks, but that's a discretionary ground. Section 21 or s8g1 would then be two months.

Notice period?

by Jarek

I know that because of COVID as a landlord I must provide 6 months’ notice (AST fixed term finished, now rolling contract). What about tenants who breached the contract (by subletting) - do I still must give them 6 months notice? Any insight?

If you stay there long enough, then you may not have to pay anything (if you are happy to live with it).
