Problem Tenant
At Help4Landlords, our distinguished and increasingly essential tenant eviction services ensure that however obstructive your tenants endeavour to be, we have the know-how to successfully evict them.
Through our many years of first-hand experience, we understand what a financial and psychological struggle it can be to have a tenant living in your property who refuses to leave or pay the rent whilst you are compelled to fulfil your mortgage commitments. We have therefore devised a simple yet very effective eviction plan where we work on a strike process, if your tenant refuses to leave by the end of Strike 2, we will have them removed.
Please take your time to review our diagram and video below which we have created to explain our tenant eviction process to you in more detail.
Two Strike Action Plan
At Help4Landlords we use a simple Two Strike Action plan for tenant evictions, if your tenants are not out after strike two, we will arrange for a tenant eviction notice to be served and have them removed.
STRIKE 1
Fixed Fee
-
We will check the terms and conditions of the tenancy agreement and prepare the appropriate notice. We also send a Pre-Action letter with section 8 notices informing the tenants that they are in breach of the terms of their tenancy and you therefore require your property back. The tenants will then have sufficient legal notice to find alternative accommodation and pay the arrears where applicable. At the end of the notice period, we will contact you to find our whether the tenants have vacated your property or not, if not, please see our Strike 2 procedure.
STRIKE 2
Fixed Fee + Court Fee
-
We will have the court involved, we will start legal action for the tenant eviction, this will include preparing your case file, witness statement, generating all of the paper work, submitting this to the court, paying the court fee and ensuring that we successfully obtain a fast tenant eviction possession order. Once we have the order, the tenant is generally ordered by a judge to vacate the property within 14 days.
Once we have the possession order, the tenant generally has 14 days in which to leave the property. If the tenant still does not leave (which is rare) we will ask you if you would like the bailiffs to evict the tenant.
EVICTION
Fixed Fee + Court Fee
-
If the tenant ignores the court’s order and refuses to leave then we instruct bailiffs to go to the property and remove them. You or someone authorised by you will need to be present at the eviction.
