I have a 3 bedroomed apartment that I began renting out to tenants nine years ago .
The local council put me in touch with the tenants and myself and the tenants singed a one year TA .
The council paid the 1 month deposit and they called that money an incentive to accept tenants from the Council .
The Council stated that if we renew the TA for a second year , the 1 months deposit would be mine to keep , they wouldnt want it back .
I didnt put the money into a deposit scheme .
We signed a new TA for the 2 nd year and I kept the money as agreed .
They paid rent on time and there were no problems .
About four years ago they said they wanted to leave and so we didnt sign a new TA , they stayed without a TA paying rent as normal .
They have stayed like that to the present , no TA but paying rent .
I didnt increase the rent all the time they ve been there and I noticed they are paying 50 % below market rate .
I want to increase the rent by 30 % .
At the moment , should the need arise , I may have difficulty evicting them .
How should I proceed to make any future evictions more legitimate .
Should I get them to sign a new one year TA and then evict them after that ?
What documents do I need to get in order to make any future evictions successful ?
Shall get them to sign a new TA and put the deposit as zero or use my own money for the deposit scheme ?
