Hello everyone
I hope you can help me understand my options. I have been reading all the posts on Section 21 and Section 8 etc, but I still feel unclear on what I can do.
I have a tenant who took occupancy on 12 August 2006 on an AST for a fixed term of 3 years.
He was several days late with September's payment, paid October's on time and now is late again with November's payment.
I would like some advice on the best way for me to proceed at this early stage in the tenancy. I want to put the proper processes and paperwork in place that will firstly enable me to swiftly take him to court if I need to and secondly to let him know early on that I wont mess around which I am hoping will get him to 'buck up'. He is a professional (architect) and I think his main problem is cash-flow as he works independently and is building up his client base in the area. So what would you advise I do in this situation?
Also, I have reason to believe that the accountant's reference he supplied was from a company that was liquidated a couple of months before the reference was written. If I can prove this can I get him out on the basis of a false reference?
I have let 2 properties over 5 years and have never had any problems before, I thought taking on an architect would be a safe bet - Not!
Thanks in advance for any replies, your help is appreciated.
