Unfortunately there are times when a Landlord needs to terminate a tenancy agreement because the Tenant(s) have breached one or more of the Tenancy conditions. This is not a pleasant situation but can be handled professionally and legally, ensuring that the Landlord can take possession of the property in accordance with the law.
If you are a Landlord in this position you can serve a Section 8 Possession Notice on the Tenant(s). This not only gives the Tenant(s) notice that you wish to take possession of the property, it also gives you the grounding to take the matter further and obtain a possession order from the court if required.
Is a Section 8 Notice restricted to a certain type of tenancy?
The Section 8 Notice can be served on Tenant(s) with an assured Tenancy or Assured Agricultural Tenancy. Unlike a Section 21(a) Notice, the Section 8 Notice is not restricted to Assured Shorthold Tenancies (AST). The only requirement is that the Tenant(s) have breached the conditions of the tenancy agreement.
What constitutes a breach of conditions?
The Housing Act 1988 prescribes 17 grounds under which a Landlord may serve a Section 8 Notice. The most common of these grounds relate to the failure to pay rent. However, there are also grounds which relate to the condition of the property and/or furniture, people living at the property without permission, Tenant(s) providing false information and issues of violence between Tenants. If you are in doubt as to whether a Section 8 Notice can be served in your situation contact us and our specialists can advise you further.Responsibilities of the Landlord
The required Notice period will depend on which grounds are being cited as the breach. Notice periods range from 2 weeks to 2 months so it is important to understand how much notice you are legally required to give your Tenant(s).In order to ensure that you understand the law and the implications of serving a Section 8 Notice on your Tenant(s), every downloaded template comes complete with notes explaining how to use the document. If the law is not adhered to you may find it difficult to take possession of your property and remove your unwelcome Tenant(s).
Your downloaded template is drafted by a qualified solicitor who has experience in Landlord/Tenant disputes. Available in Word or RTF format so that the document can be modified to suit your situation, it also comes with a fully completed example so that you be sure that you are complying with the law and can regain possession of your property with a minimal amount of hassle.
