Reply to accelerated possession section 8

by jpkeates

That's not the same thing, though.

A section 21 notice accelerated possession claim is one that can proceed without a hearing (although that doesn't always happen). It is a specific process that you elect to follow (or not).

A section 8 notice will always have a hearing, because...

accelerated possession section 8

by imranpal

Is it possible to exercise accelerated possession using section 8 ?

My solicitor is advising to go with accelerated possession to evict the tenant and once we have court order we can file another court case to collect the rent arrears .

i was in impression that accelerated...

by imranpal

as per this blog it is possible If the tenant falls behind with rent, the landlord can repossess the property and cut their losses. After you miss to pay 2 months of rent, the landlord is eligible to use an accelerated possession procedure. If proven the court will grant the order immediately.

That would be the advice of many people here, provided that you can serve...

Reply to Tenancy inspection - more than one inspector?

by ash72

It may be that the LL is making sure the LA is doing their job with their property, rather than checking up on you. Is there any reason you don't want both of them looking at the same time, I would have thought it was more efficient then each come separately.

You just need to ensure you...

by ash72

Just bear in mind, when you are served notice, and don't leave, the LL/ LA will then move towards the courts, once this happens all the costs will then be on the T.

Your best solution is to communicate with the LL/LA as well as search for alternative accommodation, you will have up to 2...

by Goodeys

Many thanks all for your reply. Yeah there is nothing on the market at all really, nightmare.

I assume they wish to serve me with a S21 immediately as they gave me 7 days to respond which would tie in with S21 being served two months before my tenancy even ends.

I’ve been...
