We are leading national eviction and possession lawyers who specialise in evicting bad tenants, obtaining possession and recovering rent arrears. Unlike some other websites claiming to specialise in eviction, we are qualified solicitors with detailed knowledge of landlord and tenant law. |
Rent arrears Section 21
Section 21 Notices
A landlord who has granted an assured shorthold tenancy has a legal right to get his property back at the end of the fixed term of the tenancy or at any time after this even if the tenants have done nothing wrong at all. The section 21 notice procedure is used in these circumstances and there are 3 steps involved.
Step 1 - we serve a section 21 notice upon the tenant giving at least 2 months notice that possession is required. The section 21 notice cannot bring the tenancy to an end before the expiry of the fixed term granted to the tenant.
Step 2 - If the tenants do not vacate in accordance with the expiry date in the section 21 notice we issue possession proceedings. We will ask the Court to order that the tenant gives the landlord possession of the property usually within 14 days of the order. However, the Court will not order the tenants to make payment of any rent arrears. If there are any rent arrears these would have to be pursued separately (see Rent recovery page).
Step 3 - If the tenants do not vacate after the date set out in the possession order then we will instruct the County Court Bailiff to attend the property together with a locksmith so that possession can be obtained.
T&E Landlord’s fixed costs for steps 1, 2 and 3 in relation to the section 21 notice procedure are the same as the fixed costs for steps 1, 2 and 3 in the rent arrears procedure.
