Hi everyone, new to this forum and hoping someone can help.
We currently live abroad and our home in the UK is rented out through a letting agent.
We are moving back to the UK and so requested our house back. The letting agent served a Section 21 notice.
At this point the tenant wrote to inform our agent that as they would have moving expenses they would not be paying any more rent.
So we have 2 months rent arrears going into the 3rd month. We have submitted a small claim for this.
We submitted an accelerated possession form when the Section 21 expired.
The tenant has filled in the defence forms claiming that the Section 21 was issued incorrectly.
On receiving the defence form copies the agent called to inform us that having spoken to a solicitor friend he believes the tenant is correct and so wants to cancel the court papers and start again with a new Section 21.
The tenants in the meantime have taken possession of a new home and moved some of their belongings not all.
We have written to the court and detailed the new address and supplied evidence of the new address.
Do you think that a judge may overlook the Section 21 fault with the information regarding the new house? If not is there another way to get them out without giving them another 2 months notice?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
