Good, then it's 2 months via s21, to end on the last day of a tenancy period, or 2 weeks via s8 if/when he is 2 months in arrears. Many small LLs struggle with serving notice correctly so I would recommended joining a good LL association.0

what do you mean struggle to serve it correctly? so if the s21 is'nt worded right then it's invalid? How did his last landlord get away with one weeks notice??Win's of 2014 so far-Maxfactor mascara, £50 Pizza Express Voucher, Dr Oetker Pizza, Nuby sippy cup :j:beer:0

You said it yourself... He "got away" with it. The penalties for illegal eviction are quite severe. And, of course, it is a criminal offence!0

ok i will give him 2 months notice as i dont want to brush with the law :eek: So if he doesnt pay me between now and then do i then potentially have a right to his deposit money?

The arrears can be offset against the deposit via the dispute route. For as long as he is a tenant, he is liable for the rent and the usual recovery methods are open to you.0
