Landlord Assist Helps Issue a Notice Seeking Possession under Section 21 of the Housing Act 1988 on Your Tenant
Their property specialists help deal with problems related to tenants by utilizing a legislative framework that best suits the landlord’s need and current situation.
- (1888PressRelease) August 22, 2021 - Landlords in the UK often fear the consequences of what might happen if they rent their property to a tenant who refuses to leave when it’s time to vacate the property. An estimate claims that more than 4.4 million people in the UK reside in private rentals. Sometimes, a tenant continues to violate laws set in the tenancy agreement, and at other times, the landlord has personal reasons to want to end the agreement and regain possession of the property.
A Section 21 notice issued in accordance with the Housing Act 1988 is often the first step landlords can take in the legislative procedure to regain possession of their property. Issuing a section 21 notice allows a landlord to notify the tenant of their intention to terminate an Assured Shorthold Tenancy, on a non-fault basis, without the need to provide a reason. There are numerous regulations surrounding the use of a section 21 notice should a tenant fail to surrender the tenancy and a landlord looks to the county court to formally terminate the tenancy. Eviction specialists at Landlord Assist can help landlords serve a Section 21 notice, and ensure that they have adhered to all necessary legalities. The court led procedure is uncompromising and even minor mistakes at any stage can be costly, incur delays or undermine your chances of securing a favorable outcome.
“Many landlords find it difficult to keep up with the ever-evolving rules regarding the service of a Section 21 notice, especially due to the changes that are made in the Coronavirus Act 2020. The team at Landlord Assist is equipped with extensive experience and resources needed to stay updated with the latest terms and conditions of issuing a Section 21 notice,” shared a representative from the company.
Most landlords are not aware of the intricacies involved in legal eviction proceedings. “Once, a landlord misspelled the name of a tenant, and the tenant defended the validity of the notice on this narrow issue,” shared another expert at Landlord Assist.
He further explained that people are often unaware that these notices can’t be issued for the first 4 months of a tenancy. This is often not clearly set out in the terms of the tenancy agreement but is governed by Statute Legislation. There are many instances where enforcement of a notice, once issued, is problematic. For example, if a property is categorized as HMO but there is no license obtained from the council, or the landlord failed register the tenant’s deposit with a government approved deposit scheme within the required time frame will undermine enforcement proceedings. In Wales, for example, the failing to hold a valid landlord license undermines enforcement activity.
