    How Long To Evict Tenant??

    Hi there, Hope you don't mind me jumping on this board, but i need a bit of advice. We are due to rent a property privately from a family friend but she is having trouble removing her tenant. He was given 2 months notice, and still wouldnt budge- he wasnt paying his full rent so the contract was not renewed. They are due to go to court, and we have been told the court date will be in the next 2 weeks and the courts will order him out in 6weeks. If he still does not go, he will be physically removed by baliffs. However, we have also been told by other people that if he is being awkward, that this isnt necessarily the case and it can take months to remove him. Can you please give me ur thoughts, experience and knowledge on this one? Any replies will be so gratefully recieved.
    Many thanks,
    Anna x

    Saying it can take months is true, but that usually includes time taken to serve the notice, wait for it to expire, then apply to the court.

    That's all been done and a court date is imminent. Assuming the paperwork is correct your friend can request possession forthwith, as the tenant has not been paying full rent, usually 14 days.

    You apply immediately to the court again for bailiffs if he still hasn't budged after the 14 days. This can take up to 6 weeks, but usually quicker.

      Richie. Your advice is most confusing and what do you mean about 14 days? You are talking about S.8 Notices and that isn't the case here! The poster is asking about what happens after the S.21 expires. You don't even know the extent of the arrears!
      The advice I give should not be construed as a definitive answer, and is without prejudice or liability. You are advised to consult a specialist solicitor or other person of equal legal standing.

        No Paul, I'm talking about a Section 21.

        Go to the hearing.
        Stand in the little box.
        Be reverential to the self-important judge.
        Play the game.
        Ask for possession forthwith
        Get granted a possession date in 14 days

        Clear?

          I suspect the landlord used to live there and has forgotten to change his address with the land registry , easily done.

          Quite possible that the landlord didnt put the restrictive covenant in the tenancy agreemnet or they are just ignoring it - is there anywhere else that they could park...

          We have a house where there are new tenants causing all sorts of problems and I need to contact the landlord.

          I have checked with the local letting agents and come up with nothing.

          I have the details from the land registry and the owner is registered to the property address!...

          Have tried that. Landlord unknown to neighbours. They have seen her at the property a couple of times and that is it. I have only seen her once.

          Not had a problem with the previous tenants....

          Yes have tried the neighbours. The the tenants are breaching a restrictive covenant by parking in the road blocking access to other properties. The property is on a private road with well defined restrictions and stipulations.

          I have tried to speak to them as have other neighbours and...

          He's either very stupid or on the fiddle or both.

          Have you knocked on some of the neighbors and asked them ? The landlord is rather foolish if he or she has not got a different correspondence address other than the let property, there have been cases where tenants have attempted to sell the rented house !!!! As all land registry paperwork goes to the...

          by KTC
          It needs to be a possession order originated from a s8 notice, not a s21 for someone who just happens to have more than 6 months unpaid. From another poster here, the bailiffs/HCEOs is asking for the possession order to explicitly state that the court is satisfy that the arrears is more than six months...

          Reputedly they can - but is it happening? Are tenants just claiming Covid for more time?

          Case has gone through court, and today 21 Jan is day due to give up possession but not sign of them moving! No argument from their side - just not paying, didn't show up in court and totally non-communicative....

          I can only imagine that should the court do that (which i don't think they will) then it would be on the same basis your father in law lived there, so rent would not come into it. I cannot see how she would have the same right as the father of your husband, its the family relationship that ultimately...

          Hi my husband was given a property as a deed of gift after his mother passed away in 1991 from his father. My husband put in place through the solicitor that his father could live rent free in the property but had to pay bills and any repairs or updating. His father married later the same year. The...
