Go back to HPC, the OP was asking a genuine question, as my gran used to say if you have nothing useful to say keep quiet... I suggest a vow of silence for you.0 -
I have to correct this from a legal standpoint.To elaborate, as they have a 12 month tenancy you cannot evict them for not paying rent until they are 2 months in arrears, if at any point they reduce that to under 2 months the eviction fails.
As Artful suggested earlier (post 3), eviction IS possible earlier - it's just not certain.
A S8 ground 10 can be served if there are any arrears - even £1.00 owed 1 day late.
A S8 ground 11 can be served even if there are NO arrears, but if there have, in the past, been persistent late payments.
But both the above are at the judge's discretion, and judges tend to be reluctant to evict, so the LL would have to make a convincing argument.
If 2 months rent is owed, then a S8 ground 8 can be served and the judge has no discretion. He must evict.
