We can help you prepare and serve eviction notices correctly, ensuring your case is handled efficiently and lawfully.
Otherwise known as a ‘no-fault’ eviction notice, a Section 21 notice is a formal notice that a landlord serves to a tenant. It is used to end an ‘assured shorthold tenancy’ or AST, without needing to specify a reason. This can used during either a fixed term contract if there is a break clause, or during a rolling periodic tenancy.
The notice will specify a date at least 2 months away, by which the tenant is to move out. If they have not vacated the property by this date, the landlord must then apply to the courts.
Section 21 notices are going to be phased out in late 2025 when the government’s Renters Rights Bill comes into effect, preventing landlords from evicting without cause.
Section 8 notices have been used since their introduction in the Housing Act 1988. Unlike a Section 21 notice, a Section 8 notice requires the landlord to prove that the tenant has violated the terms of their rent agreement. This typically happens when the tenants are in rent arrears, but is also used when tenants are using the property for illegal activities. There are a number of different grounds for evicting a tenant under a Section 8 notice.
A Section 8 notice must have legal grounds and these are broadly categorised as either mandatory or discretionary. For more details on the difference between the two, get in touch today for tailored advice for your situation.
Disagreements over property boundaries can quickly escalate, leading to costly legal battles. Our property litigation solicitors can help you clarify boundary lines, negotiate settlements, and take legal action if necessary to protect your property rights. We aim to resolve disputes amicably wherever possible, but we are prepared to represent you in court if needed.
If you are facing issues regarding service charges, whether as a landlord or a leaseholder, our team can provide clear guidance on your legal rights and responsibilities. We can assist with disputes over excessive charges, non-payment, or failure to provide adequate services, ensuring a fair resolution.
Conflicts between landlords and tenants can arise over a variety of issues, including rent arrears, repairs, lease terms, and deposit disputes. Our team helps resolve these issues through negotiation, mediation, or legal action where appropriate, always with a focus on protecting your rights.
We offer transparent pricing and can handle some matters on a fixed-fee basis. Other work is charged based on our hourly rates. We will provide a clear cost estimate at the outset, tailored to the specific needs and complexity of your case.
