Reply to Evictions on the grounds that its my only place to live .

by jpkeates

There's not really a quick way to evict tenants, and if they're not paying rent, it's likely to be quicker to use that as a ground.

However, the notice you need to give is in Annexe 2 of the government's model tenancy agreement.

Note that if you use that ground the court may...

Evictions on the grounds that its my only place to live .

by Luke

I recently read of these forums that you can get a AST form with a clause that you can evict a tenant if you want your property back because its your only place to live .

by Berlingogirl

You need to use Section 8 ground 1 (you can google this) but it's basically this bit below. You can expect to wait a long time for an evictin to go through. This happened to me and the council wouldn't house me because I already had a house - even though I couldn;'t live in it! ...

Reply to Deducting Cleaning Costs from Deposit

by jpkeates

The deposit is the tenant's money, so they have to agree to any deductions.

Deducting Cleaning Costs from Deposit

by Piffy

I use a Letting Agent. Recently the tenants vacated, prior to the tenants leaving when the letting agent did an inspection they advised the tenants that the property would need cleaning before they vacated. The tenants have now left, the place does need a good clean, the Letting Agents have said that...

Reply to Advice to others when you have a CCJ against a Tenant

by jpkeates

Alternatively, you could complete a very unlikely (and rude) defence to the notice and send it back...

I have now instructed...
