UK, Sep 21st 2021 – It is unequivocal that most residential tenancies are conducted well but there are occasions when tenants breach the terms of the tenancy agreement. Examples include; conducting anti-social behaviour, sub-letting, causing malicious damage to the property, accruing significant rent arrears, indulging in illegal or criminal activity, and more. It can prompt landlords to seek a court order for eviction and repossession of their property. However, before the eviction proceedings can be taken forward with confidence, landlords are required to serve a section 8 notice setting out the grounds for possession and briefly set out the conduct which resulted in the breach. Experts at Landlord Assist help landlords across the UK to avoid costly mistakes and delays by ensuring they follow the corresponding legislative procedure which best suits their circumstances.

“Legislation regarding eviction is complex and Landlords must adhere to the rules and procedures to secure a successful outcome. Sending a Section 8 notice in the first instance is not only the right procedure but also demonstrates to your tenant that you respect their rights even when you may be frustrated by the fact that they have breached the terms of the tenancy agreement. This should send a positive message and help get the tenancy back on an even keel. After all, they still have your asset in their control. In addition, it will also help defend against any accusations that your actions are inappropriate or unreasonable. Many landlords get confused between a Section 21 and Section 8 notice, which is where our experts add value because any errors made while issuing the notice can cause a delay in the process of gaining possession by the landlord or worse,” explained a representative from the company.

The Housing Act 1988 provides several grounds by which a landlord can seek possession of their property both during and after the fixed term of the tenancy . Data reveals that the most common grounds for possession involves rent arrears.
