Tenant has moved and left a lot of damage

Perhaps the person who "let slip" to the tenant can be tasked with helping track them down.0

It's water under the bridge now, but does indicate the LL has little idea what he's doing......
Guest is right, Before "applying for eviction" to a court a lanlord must first serve a S8 (or S21)Notice on the tenant, so there's no question of 'a friend letting slip' or the tenant 'getting wind' - the tenant has to be informed!0 -

As a business owner your friend should have fully understood the risks that letting property involves.0 -

Ok, so how does the LL serve a S21 on them now if they've gone and no one knows where she is?0 -

Well either serve it on the property, wait 2 months, get a possession order and take possession (assuming the tenant has left nothing in the property)
Or take a risk that she wont come back, since it sounds like the LL is already in possession of the property.0 -

Why use a S21 and wait 2 months?
Given there are rent arrears, use S8.
Before (or when, or after) becoming a landlord, did[STRIKE] you[/STRIKE] your friend make any effort to learn what it involves and how tenancy law works....?
