You apply to the court for a possession hearing.

Having read the other poster's comments, I still think your S21 is invalid, the tenant could defend on the grounds I mentioned earlier and the judge could throw it out. No conditions, not even verbally.

and secondly, your tenant did comply with that condition and caught up with the rent, even though now they have slipped again. Your condition was that you would not act on it she caught up........which she did.

Can you see where I'm coming from?

Yes I see exactly what your saying. I will issue a new section 21 notice with no conditions.

Thanks.

How Long do I need to now give the tenant to get out?

Once the date you gave has passed, you fill out County Court form N5(b).
I will repeat that your Sec 21 is still valid.

If anyone who says different can show anything to back their claims up, then I will change my answer.

The verbal condition is unlikely to affect the S21, but there is a small chance if the tenant defended on that basis the court would rule the S21 invalid.

How long to give to give the tenant?
* if you rely on the existing S21, then apply at once to the court
* if you decide to serve a new S21, then the timespan depends if you use a S21 (4)(a) or S21 (1)(b)?
