Can you recommend a company to evict non paying tenants?

.. as long as your tenant was 8 weeks in arrears, your agent should have issued a Section 8 notice immediately...

My highlighting. It's 8 weeks only if rent paid weekly or fortnightly - 2 months if rent paid monthly

However, if they pay up such that they owe less than 8 weeks by the time it gets to court the judge will throw out the case.

A T's legal adviser will usually suggest that a T partially pays down the outstanding rent prior to a hearing

So you need to issue a Section 21 notice as well.... you can do this at any time.....

provided that you have scheme registered your tenant's deposit prior to doing so (Eng/Wales, where deposit received after 6 Apr 2007), unless you want your s21 to be invalid

Good clear guidance on Notices from Tessa at LL Law, on her blog here

Hello all,


I have a house that I let out through an agency, the tenant stumped up the deposit etc and had clean refs, but since the initial payment they haven't paid a penny since.

Oh dear look's like it will cost you thousands, also many non payers usually damage the property !


Here's a useful link for people like yourself.

There's a couple of threads asking similar questions to this on here at the moment - it's good to see people asking for advice on how to follow the legal process, rather than taking the suzy butler approach.

Of course, but we have to give them the benefit of the doubt. And besides, this is information that apparently can never be spelled out too many times for the accidental LLs out there.
