Tenants who fail to comply with the terms and conditions of their tenancy agreement may be subject to a claim for possession. Non-payment or late payment of rent, property damage caused by the tenant, and evidence of disruptive or anti-social behaviour are among the common reasons for possession.
In addition to these, there are other grounds for possession that may vary depending on the tenancy agreement, such as illegal activities committed on the property, unauthorised subletting, and breaches of health and safety regulations.
What should you do if your tenant hasn't paid their rent?
Section 8 notices can be used to evict a tenant if they have breached the tenancy agreement. Reasons must be given for the eviction notice. Landlords must provide evidence that they have been in contact with the tenant about the issue that has led to the breach.
If landlords are issuing a Section 8 notice, they must give either 2 weeks or 2 months notice to the tenant before Court proceedings for possession can commence, depending on the ground for possession. Section 21 notices can be issued with two months notice, after the fixed term tenancy period has ended.
