Section 21 Notice (To Quit)
A s21 Notice gives the Landlord the legal right to regain possession
at the end of a tenancy but must follow the correct legal procedure, which includes serving a s21 Notice. This is a
two month (minimum) Notice. The Housing Act 1996 amended the s21 of the 1988 Housing Act by requiring that this Notice
be given in writing. It is imperative that this Notice has the correct information and dates in order for it to
be valid. Unfortunately, this is where most Landlords who try to prepare the s21 Notice themselves get it wrong!
If the s21 Notice is invalid the case will be dismissed and you will have to start all over again which will have
delayed the process by months therefore costing you time and money. Call us and we can screen your Notice
for free saving you the stress and inconvenience of going through the whole process only for it to be wrong!
Section 8 Notice
A s8 Notice is generally used where there is some default on part of the Tenant. This is a two week Notice.
The most common type of default is non payment of rent (rent arrears) and the courts will require evidence or proof
of this default before it will make an order for the Tenant to move out of the property.
