Thanks

theres been a series of domestic issues at the property which have required police involvement and I made the mistake of allowing tenancy without seeing any references - despite chasers to the agent. No issues with rent or damage to property.

Yea I'M aware of the councils potential stance on it which is why I want to make sure everyting is done right now. Should I ask the agent for evidence the PI was given to the tenant?

Does this actually affect you as a Landlord?

I mean eviction wont solve their domestic issues. And police involvement doesnt mean a crime has taken place.

Perhaps you're looking at this too personally? How did you find out about their involvement?

On a brighter note, G_M's links are brilliant and should be followed. I would send it first class, twice, from two seperate post offices and keep proof of postage.

MUCH EASIER to provide two receipts in courts than bring a witness.

The two 'extra' days are not anything in the grand scheme

Does hand delivering with a witness suffice for this i.e. putting through the. I'm concerned they "wont be in" when i go round.

No different from them not being in when the postman delivers the mail.....

OK chaps and chapettes - ive been on this all day and even though the forms I have are different templates I think i'm there. Could anyone help with (confirm) the possession date i should be entering please?

The tenancy started on 27 October 2014 and ends 26 October 2015. Today is the 26 August 2015. Am i right in thinking that i want "possession after 26 October 2015" ?

Only if you are going to hand deliver before 4.30pm today.

Post it from a post office tomorrow using the method outlined earlier, and use the date 31st October 2015.

If the deposit issue is unresolved, you may come unstuck.

4:30 Today?!?!?!??

Was intending to popround there this evening - thats the first I've heard about a specific time condition?

You learn something new everyday.
If you insist on hand delivery this evening, change the expiry to "after 27th Oct".

Or just cover yourself by including a margin for error - add in a couple of extra days. Two days can't really make much difference to you, but an invalidated S21 (for whatever reason) will set you back 2+ months.

Tricky! My sympathies are split between the OP whi being potentially lumbered with the debt for all 4 boys, and the LL who has ben ripped off by his grubby non-paying tenants and has no option but to do as he's doing.

And may find his agents have messed up the Deed of Guarantee meaning he gets nowhere.
