tenant eviction
service

tenant eviction formally starts with making an eviction notice, but it doesn’t end there. for example, a landlord can’t simply enter and repossess their property if a tenant doesn’t leave when an eviction notice expires. 

exactly what’s involved in the eviction process depends on the type of eviction notice you’re using. which notice you’re using will depend on where in the uk your property is and why you’re seeking to repossess your property. generally, the process will involve:

• drafting an eviction notice

• serving the notice in accordance with the requirements applicable to that type of notice

• the tenant vacating the property or, if they do not, the landlord starting court proceedings to evict them

• enforcing a court-ordered eviction in accordance with the relevant legal rules

for more information, read the guidance for the type of eviction you want to carry out:

• an eviction in england using a section 8 notice (eg due to rent arrears or because the landlord is redeveloping or moving in) 

• an eviction in england using a section 21 notice (ie a ‘no fault’ eviction)

• an eviction in wales 

making an error during the eviction process can lead to an eviction being ineffective or illegal. moreover, some types of eviction notice will be invalid if you’ve failed to meet a specific landlord obligation earlier in the tenancy.
