Tenant stopped paying rent once I gave 2 months' notice to leave (I need to move back in, it's my home)... on periodic tenancy, etc, etc. He is refusing to leave and I served a Section 21 and recently a Section 8.
I have also started a small claim against him for fear he will disappear without paying the arrears. He has acknowledged service, thus buying another 28 days, and intends to defend all of the claim.
Is that what usually happens? I have done everything by the book as far as I can see, I can prove he didn't pay with bank statements... do people think they may as well chance it and see rather than just pay up?
Confused
