Evicting Tenants
Need to serve a tenant eviction notice? Help4landlords can provide legal support including tenant eviction notices across the UK.
Our striking action plan really delivers.
Our well established two-strike action plan is not only simple to follow, but actually delivers the results you want.
At strike one, we serve notice on the tenants giving them sufficient time to clear their arrears or find alternative accommodation. If by the end of the notice period they have still not vacated your property or have no intention of leaving, then we proceed to Strike two.
Strike two, if your tenants have not vacated your property or cleared the rent arrears where applicable then we commence court proceedings to obtain a possession order and county court judgement against them.
Once a possession order is granted, we can instruct bailiffs to attend the property and remove the tenants. You will then have your property back and to do with it as you please.
Two Strike Action Plan
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
-
We apply to the court for a warrant to ask the bailiffs to evict the tenant. You or your letting agent will need to be present at the eviction. A locksmith will also be required, you can arrange this yourself or for an additional fee or we can provide this service for you.
