Tenant gives notice then new rental falls through

Hi
I was given a months notice by a tenant which I accepted.
My property is now on right-move and I think we have an interested person.
I am concerned that my current tenant has not been given a definite yes from his new landlord.
If they decided to stay put and I have an agreement in place with a new tenant, what's the procedure and consequences?

Well, you shouldn't have an agreement in place with a new tenant until you have procured vacant possession, otherwise it gets messy. Have you? If not so far, than avoid doing so!0 -
Thanks David
No I do not have an agreement in place and will not until they leave.
But I would still want them to leave ASAP and if they refuse wondered if anyone had any advice on the matter.0 -

If the current tenant remains in the property after the notice period ends then you will have to go to court to get a possession order. You can also charge the tenant double rent under the Distress for Rent Act 1737.
