    I think OP's point is that while S8 is mentioned on the claim, no S8 notice was received. What I am not clear about is whether the procedure for S8 requires a notice to the tenant or whether it can proceed straight to claim.

    This is exactly the point.
  • so he changed your locks and you didn't owe him any rent, but because you was sueing him and it hadn't been to court and now he is try to evict you,

    how did you get back in

    what was you sueing him for, damage to something or breach of quiet enjoyment

    Do you rent a whole property or a room in a property? What does your contract say, the whole property or a room in a property? Does the landlord live in the property or someone who you pay rent to live there?


    There seems to be a complex history that we don't know about involving damage, unemployment, harassment, rent arrears, illegal eviction, etc. We can't advise you correctly if we don't have all the facts. However at the end of the day once the landlord gets a possession order from the S21 you will be forced to move so you need a plan for that above all else.
    Don't listen to me, I'm no expert!

    I rent just a single room in a shared property where apparently some tenants are old friends of the landlord.

    Thanks in advance to not judge me on this (at least not after asking further question).

    However, my question regarding the section 8 still pending...

    I will start drafting my defence anyway now.

    Will come back in the forum certainly only tomorrow...
