Notice, Tenants

Annisele

OP doesn't appear to have followed the advice G_M, artful and others gave last time.

I don't know how much it costs to get a T out using s8, but I do know it costs a lot more if you don't get it right first time. So, I'd echo everybody else's advice to join a landlord's association asap.

Return the deposit in full then serve a valid S21/ S8 notice.

a S8 can be served regardless.

If they wreck your house you will need to take out a small claims action

LL may want to consider that AFAIAA T can still apply to court for penalty payment for non reg of deposit/non provision of precribed info despite deposit repayment.

from one of OP's previous threads

"Hi guys do i need to give my address to any prospective tenants will my mobile number be enough for a tenancy agreement thanks "

Can't see a subsequent post stating that the OP complied with LL&TA1987, s48. Rent may not be due at this point in time.

Well spotted tbs.

OP - if you did not give an address for the serving of Notices in Eng/Wales, then the tenant is NOT in rent arrears.

So a S8 will not succeed (at least if you use arrears as the ground).

If you have written demanding rent, and not enclosed your own actual address, then your letter was invalid.
