    Tell your brother to get along over to this site:

    http://www.landlordzone.co.uk/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=3

    lots of information on there about all sorts of landlord/tenant issues.

    be careful with your wording on this one OP. The banks reposess a house. Your brother will be evicting his tenants. Your brother cannot reposess his tenants or reposess his own house. In any case get yourself to the landlordzone website - very informative on these matters!

    He should serve the appropriate notice/s.

    He could start with a section 8 notice, grounds 8 (unpaid rent), 10 (unpaid/arrears), 11 (persistently late)

    Also, if he can, he should issue a section 21 notice too as a good back up.


    Seek independent legal advice if unsure how to go about doing this properly
