- Google Review | Business ServicesA Section 21 notice is the 'no-fault' route to possession, which can be used to end an Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST) after its fixed term. A Section 8 notice is used when the tenant has breached the tenancy agreement, for example by not paying rent.
The timeframe can vary significantly, from a few months to much longer if the case is complex or defended. Following the correct legal procedure from the very beginning is the fastest way to a successful outcome. We can provide a realistic timeline based on your specific case.
Common errors include incorrectly protecting the tenant's deposit, failing to provide the required legal documents at the start of the tenancy, and errors on the notice itself. Any of these can lead to a possession claim being thrown out of court, causing significant delays and costs.
Yes. If the notice is invalid, if the landlord has not followed the correct legal procedure, or if you have a valid counterclaim (such as disrepair), you may be able to challenge the eviction. It is vital to seek legal advice as soon as you receive a notice.
An unlawful eviction is when your landlord tries to force you to leave your home without a court order, for example by changing the locks, cutting off utilities, or using threats and intimidation. This is a serious criminal offence, and you have strong legal protections.
If your landlord failed to protect your deposit in a government-approved scheme within 30 days of receiving it, any Section 21 notice they serve is invalid. Furthermore, you may be entitled to claim compensation of up to three times the value of the deposit.
