Upate
It now looks like she has moved out ie the neighbours have seen her packing up a van and her cat has gone.
Where do I stand legally with re-enteriny my house? Is there a protocol I need to follow? I am worried we will be there with a locksmith and get in and she will still be there. If that happened what would I do?
Thanks!

Served s.8 Notice; T moving out; how to collect arrears?
We served a section 8 on our T and she is now 3 months in arrears. Over the bank holiday weekend she has started to move out. There are still a few pieces of furniture of hers in our property.
She changed the locks when she refused to pay the rent. I want to know when we can go in and change them and reclaim our house? I want to make sure I follow correct procedure after being so patient by serving the section 8.
Also I dont want her to get away with oweing us 3 months rent - what is the process for going through small claims court? I know I will probably never get the money back but I want her to get a CCJ for what she has done. I have got her next of kin (her mother's) address.
Also how do I get her desposit out of the protection scheme without her co-operation?
Any help would be great. I want to make sure she doesnt keep doing this and getting away with it!
ThanksTags: None

by DPT57I think that you're supposed to spend £10k on energy saving improvements and if this doesnt get it to a C, you're still allowed to let it.

Is there any information you can point me to that deals with this topic? It is unlikely that I will be able to get my properties up to a Band C in time for 2028 and I have sitting tenants who are, by law, entitled to stay put in their properties and can't just be evicted because they have a right to...

Reply to Section 257 HMO and Council Taxby Ted.E.BearNo, it is likely that the VOA simply don't know about it. Anything that brings it to the attention of the council may well result in a referral for revaluing.

by Tony-EdwardsI believe that under a shared-facility HMO situation, Council Tax is levied on the whole property.
I'm thinking of buying a Section 257 HMO (a building converted to 4 self-contained studios that doesn't meet the relevant building standards).
I'm being told it is paying 1 council...-

Reply to Section 257 HMO and Council Taxby DPT57The VOA is likely to chamge it to at least 4x band A at some point.
You may also need an HMO licence if the Council have or introduce an Additional Licensing scheme.-

Reply to Resident landlord or AST?jpkeates, I've been busy recently but just wanted to come on here to say thank you for your detailed reply. It's most helpful and I'll pass it on. I imagine it will be reassuring to know the potential outcomes, even if it doesn't go the tenant's way.

Hello, I wondered if anyone experienced could please advise on this scenario:
A landlord lets out a self-containted attic room in a converted garage – which is separate and detached from their house – to a tenant. It has its own front door, so the tenant can only access the part of...-

Reply to Pharoah antsby anonkianaHi guys thanks for all your suggestions. We have these ant food things scattered all around but the ants don't seem to like it, we've tried a few of them and that solution doesn't work. There are so many tiny holes in this place in the walls etc, even pest control said it would be difficult to pinpoint...
