No statutory demands allowed until after september sadly, It appears commercial tenants can do as they please

They may have sorted this by now, It's 7 years old!!!!!

what competent person scheme is your electrician a member of?

[darkstar]

As much as i dislike the thought, It may be cheaper and quicker for the OP to pay the current tenants to leave......

Markalex73 firstly, you need to find out if the s21 sent to your tenants was valid. If yes/no then people can advise you on your next steps moving forward...

[darkstar]

This is a recommendation only and i would be sticking to the guidance from the relevant authorities...

slooky .
It's not personal as your tenant would be doing exactly the same regardless of who the landlord is. Does the tenant own any assets of value on the premises?

[darkstar]

I think you would be foolish to do this yourself. For the sake of 1k (sounds cheap to me), It's worth paying. To be opted out of 1954, you need this to be watertight or it will come back to haunt you....

As stated above your best option is a court judgement and then bailiffs to recover your funds. On the face of it, i would imagine your tenant has security of tenure so it may be in your interest if he did leave voluntarily. It could be a serious pain for you to get him out if he digs his heels in....
