    Solicitors fees aren't reclaimable as costs in such cases. So you will end up paying over the odds. Rather than just issue a 2 months section 21 notice, to start on Friday.

    You need court form N215

    Correct me if i am wrong that by completing this form you are confirming that you have served the S21 notice?

    Right it seems general consensus here is to bite the bullet and serve another s21 with proof of posting, perhaps use two different post offices to be sure.
    Now if I serve another S21, would the previously served notice would be deemed cancelled?
    Has Section 21(4)(a) has been update recently?

    Right, but if you win, you pay.

    Those costs are not guaranteed to be awarded to you by the court against the tenant

    If you haven't already I think you should join a landlord association. That way you can get help and advice from other landlords. Learn from others mistakes. :)

    Why has the Section 21 been issued? Are they bad tenants? Do you need the property back?

    Duh...

    N215 is the certificate of service that I mentioned in my previous post.
    If you go to court to evict based on a s.21 notice obviously you are claiming that you served notice.

    The key is that the court may want evidence that what you are claiming on the certificate of service is indeed the truth. Hence evidence to support it.

    Yes I need the property back, the tenants has been pain, he rented the house for himself but has invited his offspring (working) to live with him, he claims that he is too old to look after himself!

    You cant control who is in the property.

    The tenant rents the property and in essence purchases a lease. If he or she wants to invite a partner, or a child, or a different stranger every night - its nothing to do with you.

    I dont see why this would be a problem. The tenant is responsible for his children whilst at the property.

    Well, the landlord does and if he wants the tenant out, when the notice has been served correctly and with proof, the door beckons :o.
