Section 21 issued. How long until applying for a court order

18-03-2010, 08:20 AM

Hi all

I issued my tenant with a section 21 last week and have not heard from them. It was issued from two different post offices with proof of postage. At what stage should I apply for a court order if I do not hear from them.

The notice expires late May.

Many thanks,

After the notice has expired, if the tenant has not vacated the property, you will need to make a claim for possession (form N5 or N5B).

Action after Section 21

by blueash

I use an agent and they in turn have passed my issue over to a firm of solicitors (I pay for an enhanced management).

Following on from the Section 21 and the people not moving out on the date mentioned I have been given a choice as to whether I want possession only or possession and arrears...

Sitting tenant demanding new carpet already

by Ladymucky

I bought a property with a sitting tenant, within the first week they have a list of complaints about the house which needs sorting as the previous landlord didn’t want to know (great). We have had a look at the property and I’m willing to sort most of them.

by BIGGYBIBIG

Hi guys,
Do you guys turn your properties over to letting agents to manage for you?
If so what are we talking in terms of fees around 10%?
Are letting agents trustworthy, i have heard many horror stories?

by freddycd15

Hello all,

The tenant is on a Statutory Periodic Tenancy. If a valid Section 21 notice has been served and the date to leave expires but the tenant is still in the flat (given no court order or bailiffs are present):
