Extremely useful information thank you!

[gregk]

What if the tenant pays off enough between the date of serving the notice and the court hearing so that the arreas are less than two months, is the section still valid ?

[fery]

One more thing I just listened to your presentation. Section 8 does not give you "possession". Section 21 gives you "possession". Section 8 will gives "eviction" order.

[lenagrahn]

By the sounds of it if I want to move back as my sole and main home, there's no need for the tenant to be in arrears for possession, right?

[mgabrielle]

if you are serving a notice in person, why does it have to be by 4pm, what if the tenants are at work? and won't be back before 7pm?

i did serve section 8, for £7000 rent arrears, waited for 4 months for very first court hearing, then won in court than applied for Baliff, but now been told that my Tenant will not get CCJ untill I Enforce Money judgement. Now county court says the max enforcement they can do is £5000 but mine is £9000 now..so which form i use for money judgement in High court or should i use MCOL. can i do it now while she is still in my property or wait till she dissappear and then pay someone to trace her new address???

On 06th July 2009 a landlord let a shop to me built in 1830s as a stable in lea bridge road, let as a one bed flat He promised to do all vital alterations and essential improvements being windows installed in 3 rooms, 4th bedroom wall and doorway, , install rear fire doorway exit and cooker gas extractor fan, no smoke nor carbon monoxide detectors no security deposit no annual certificates no radiator under the bay window no radiator in the bedroom dampness throughout no rent receipts insisted for 8 1/2 years always cash rent The landlord knowing I had 15k savings deliberately falsified a £7, 800 unsigned rent arrears schedule with no obligatory supportive documentation, such as rent arrears letters payment plan, breach of payment plan nor any final warning letter being Retaliatory Possession Three weeks prior to the eviction date the Shop Registration as an " Unused Shop " was changed to Residential The Enforcement Officer made repeated threats and repeated minor assaults The landlords brother charged into me attempting to force me out of my front door porch The police would not attend my urgent call for section 6 Criminal Law At 1977 On arrival the two police officers immediately took sides against me by standing in front of me making threats of arrest to stop my Peaceful Protest being a criminal offense, as in section 26 Criminal Justice Act 2015

A landlord can go for accelerated possession where their notices arent challenged and a tenant is evicted even if the landlord lies about them.

[tonymedley]

is a signature required to validate a Notice to Quit

[keifer]

Great. Now I know how to be one step ahead of my landlord 😈

[elsietetteh]

My tenant is subletting and tenancy has ended

[Eyes_In_Your_Darkness]

Nobody knows what a section 8 notice is??? Are you serious!!?? 😂😂😂

[fery]

Dawn darling. Section 8 is not a court form, thus before 4 o'clock and adding two days for service, do not apply to Form 3. You are giving wrong advice.

More importantly people in their 70s should not be served with a notice to vacate a property they have lived in for 16 years or more just because the landlord wishes to sell. There should at least be a six months notice for every year spent paying rent without a problem or a moving allowance of £10, 000 payable by the Landlord on the sale of the property with long term tenants in situ. A lot of people are renting these days and laws need to be tightened up and firmly put into legislation. People want to live with security of tenure, not always going to bed with the threat of vacating for reasons that are of no fault of their own. I for one am sick and tired of listening to the bleating of landlords who say they are not making any money out of their properties and that government legislation makes it hard for them to keep the property. Something should be done NOW - not left till after the election. No more evictions because landlords want to sell, unless rents have been withheld by the tenants. It is selfish and evil.
