Section 8 Expiration ! ! !

[CJ500]

Hi Everyone just a quick question regarding Section 8 Expiration,

I served a Section 8 on a tenant on the 16 Jan 16 at which point they owed £1800.

Since then they have made an effort to reduce their arrears but in Apr/May they fell back into their terrible ways and not even sent enough to pay rent.

I wrote to their guarantor and requested payment of arrears in full or for him to contact me and neither has happened in the specified timeframe.

The tenant did call me and was extremely aggressive and stated we wouldnt be getting the arrears. Whats the next step?

Further information available and this is not a test lol

It will depend on the grounds of the s8.
If they are no longer relevant, you'd be best issuing a new one with correct grounds.

Go and speak to the guarantor on his/her dooorstep.
Make it clear that you will be getting a money judgement against the tenant and themselves as guarantor.

Indeed: So reserve s8 if any changed grounds, s21 also if you can validly (? can you?) and copy them to guarantor with a calm, polite letter (letter to guarantor only).
