Thanks for all your help.

Tenant has finally left. 

Bailiffs and locksmith were here before 11am.
Was owing Total of £2370 which consisted of the 26 days, previous arrears and court fees ordered £355.

Communicated with her and her sons to at least pay the 26 days rent and will let the other payments go. 

I am glad she has now paid £1500.

Not sure would have been successful going through court to get anything from her. 

​​​​​​​Glad it's all over now. 

Did the s21 process myself, a lot more knowledgeable now and a member of the NRLA and landlord groups on Facebook.

Once again thank you everyone.

Was a long process took 6.5 months. Relieved!

The neighbour was all praise about tenant and family. They are nice but affordability was an issue.

I think you've done really well to get the £1500.

If you do serve a notice, the tenant may decide to stop paying altogether.

Also, if the landlord receives the UC direct, does she become liable to return any overpaid amounts?

Of course the tenants are liable but they very rarely ever pay it

Any evidence (concrete, statistics) to back your assertion up?  Most tenants pay (I assert...).

Don't think she would tbh. 

Earlier on when i challenged her about paying the court fees aa advised by the court said she will pay the court on a monthly basis.

Just wanted to start afresh but now she would not have been selected because would not pass affordability or refrencing checks.

I think this is key moving forward, before when there were more rentals available and less demand a little mark on the credit file didn't matter. Or they could find a private rental available.

I was discussing this issue earlier in the week with another LL and apart from the odd tenant who truly cannot keep themself straight the tenants are well aware of the situation out there and know when they have a good deal so they will do all they can to keep it.

I would not want to be a tenant in these times. Find a good LL and then the LL and tenant can treat each other like gold dust.
