Tenant Eviction Notices & Tenancy Agreements

 

A tenancy agreement sets out the contract between the landlord and the tenant. It is a document that details the obligations that each party has agreed to be bound by. Specifically, that the the tenant pays the rent in return of exclusive possession of a well maintained property.

Normally if either party does not fulfil their contractual obligations the other party may enforce the terms of the contract via the courts. However, with tenancy agreements certain rules, or statutes, set out how the landlord may enforce his rights. This is particularly the true when the landlord wishes to enforce his right to repossess his property. In this situation the Housing Act 1988 sets out how the landlord should proceed. Therefore, landlords should be familiar with this act if they wish to prepare a tenant eviction notice with confidence.

 

How To Evict A Tenant Using A Section 21 Notice

 

The Housing Act provides for two types of tenant eviction notice under section 21 that must be used by landlords to repossess property. One type of tenant eviction notice must be used during the contractual term of the tenancy while the other must be used during the periodic term of the tenancy. Landlords should read the relevant sections of the act to select and prepare the correct tenant eviction notice.

 

When To Use The Section 21 Tenant Eviction Notice

 

A Section 21 tenant eviction notice is used to obtain possession of a property by landlords when there are no rent arrears.

 

Advantages And Disadvantages Of The Section 21 Tenant Eviction Notice

 

Advantages of using the section 21 tenant eviction notice include being able to repossess the property at the end of the tenancy agreement without having to argue a reason, lower legal costs, and not having to attend a hearing. Disadvantages of the section 21 tenant eviction notice are not obtaining a debt order for rent arrears, the many opportunities to make errors in the paperwork, and non compliance with the deposit rules.
