Issue a S.8 notice for late and non-payment of rent due.
If they do not move out at the end of the notice you will have to go to court for an evicition order, if they still do not leave then you will have to go back to the court to appoint baliffs to chuck them out. -
Dear Colin, How do I find out precise wording for s.8 I beleive it has to be word perfct how much notice do they have to be given does it take forever to apply to the court for bailiffs if they do not move out what is the good and bad scenario? Dave.Comment

Surely I'm not the only one who finds it absolutely incredible that people rent out their property without knowing this kind of stuff?

Well we are not all geiuses otherwise we would probably not rent in the first place,--plus the law is constantly changing another plus for bad tenants.Comment

Have a look at the agreements section of this website. All the forms you need and the necessary links to the court service website are to be found there together with a ton of information to ensure that your application is successful. Be advised to serve a section 21 notice as well. Although this needs at least 2 months notice or until the end of the fixed term of the AST before court action can be commenced, it acts as a backstop in case your section 8 application fails for some reason. The service of a section 21 notice has absolutely no effect on the section 8 procedure that you are intending to use. It is stateted however by the theorists that it is the only certain way of obtaining that possession order.
P.P.Any information given in this post is based on my personal experience as a landlord, what I have learned from this and other boards and elsewhere. It is not to be relied on. Definitive advice is only available from a Solicitor or other appropriately qualified person.Comment

I believe that under a shared-facility HMO situation, Council Tax is levied on the whole property.
I'm thinking of buying a Section 257 HMO (a building converted to 4 self-contained studios that doesn't meet the relevant building standards).
I'm being told it is paying 1 council...28-05-2022, 09:28 AM -
Reply to Access to neighbouring property act.My guess is that the issue is a) removing the dead ivy and b) fixing the damaged brickwork.
Ivy is relatively easy to kill, but it usually stays in place when it's dead.
It usually turns brown, which isn't that unattractive (to me), but it doesn't move.
And if the reason...28-05-2022, 09:16 AM -
Has anyone successfully used the act for the purpose it is designed for please? Did the court action take forever to obtain the judgement? I'm about to get notified by my solicitor that we need to go to court to be able to cut the huge ivy growth on the flank wall growing up over the roof now. T I ...26-05-2022, 12:50 PM

Added as a credit. I wonder whether you will be allowed to withdraw any balance - should you be lucky enough to be in credit?...28-05-2022, 09:08 AM

Here is another bit of pending legislation/government spittle that has been ill thought through.
My kid has a tenancy which includes Council Tax and Energy as part of the rent. Her rent has gone up a lot as a result of increased cost of these inclusions.
Now after the fact...26-05-2022, 21:42 PM -
Reply to Access to neighbouring property act.I don’t understand why this is even an issue, let alone spending costs on solicitor fee’s and contemplating courts orders.
As I understand it the OP owns the ivy and he owns the wall it is growing up. The OP has a 500 mm pathway to gain access to the ivy and also has access to his...28-05-2022, 09:02 AM -
Reply to Access to neighbouring property act.Yeah, that's what I was thinking. She'll be begging o/p to come over & remove it then.

What does the ast say? Often they say T is responsible for council tax and utilities for the duration of the tenancy. And if it does I'm not sure if there's any material difference between a T living somewhere else or dying (except obviously if dead it's the estate that's liable).28-05-2022, 08:31 AM

Hi Everyone,
I'm seeking advice on when a landlord becomes liable for Council Tax.
Situation: The tenant is Deceased, which means the tenancy continues until the landlord or persons acting with legal responsibility for the Deceased's Estate serve notice to surrender the tenancy....27-05-2022, 13:35 PM -
Reply to Access to neighbouring property act.We did this at our house. Cut through the stems at the bottom of the wall, the ivy dies off but remains clinging to the wall. So the neighbour can still have her view of ivy....28-05-2022, 08:08 AM
