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

    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).

      Makes sense - if the tenancy agreement doesn't say you have to let him and a surveyor in, his only right of access is with 24 hours written notice for the purpose of viewing the "condition and state of repair" of the property.

      So you can simply decline or make your point.

      I'm not trying to claim for breach of quiet enjoyment. He wants to be in again with a surveyor to use his property as security for something. I am going to let him I just want to remind him and have all the facts. Sorry if I didn't explain it right.

      Only claiming for the non protection...

      I pay the council tax, yes it is mortgaged. As far as I know he isn't pretending to live him and his family live in another house a few streets away....

      Long story short, someone I know (not close) needed money, I gave him 12 months reduced rent upfront to help him out and put a commercial lease on his HMo with right to sublet etc (my tenants).

      Few months in and his money problems are worse and the bank (and others) pressuring him to sell...

      Harassment is way more than a breach of quiet enjoyment, there has to be a level of distress in the harassed person.

      A retrospective claim for breach of quiet enjoyment is probably a non-starter - breach of quiet enjoyment is part of the kitchen sink people throw when they're claiming compensation...

      And although as jpkeates suggests you have a right to turn them away and force a court order, this does not mean they have breached your right to quiet enjoyment.

      It means you are refusing to honour your AST and the landlord Is forced to apply to court to make you legally comply. Again,...

      Many thanks for the reply. Yes, my company has leased the HMO in question under commercial lease but it's not registered at land registry as it's only a 12 month lease.

      Tenants are friends so less of am issue as such but they'll be outside of their 6 months by the time of any would be...
