A question regarding section 8 notice

If section 8 is used on the grounds of 2 months rent overdue and the tenant pays up, does that stop the eviction process? Would the landlord then need to use section 21 if he still wants them out?

    If the tenant pays the outstanding arrears before the court hearing then the landlord cannot evict unless he/she has also issued a Section 21.

    Can they be issued at the same time then?

    Tenant does not even have to pay the "outstanding arrears ". Only has to bring the arrears down below 2 months rent.....

    2 months must be owing on the day the s21 is served and the day of the hearing.
    Don't listen to me, I'm no expert!

    I think you mean the SECTION 8 Kynthia!

    Section 21 is a no fault notice, nothing to do with rent arrears.
