PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

How long could the court process take? Can you elaborate on what being "absolutely perfect" with the paperwork would mean in practice?artyboy said:If the tenant is on UC in arrears, and generally awkward, then it's quite possible you will have to go all the way through the court eviction process before you actually get them out...
Which means you have to be absolutely perfect with your S8/21 paperwork...It took not far off a year for my friends to evict a tenant a couple of years ago. You must have seen the recent news items about court delays, and while they concentrate on criminal cases the civil courts are likely to be just as backlogged.And perfect means perfect, get anything wrong and the whole lot will be heading back to you if the tenant spots it. There's a reason why quite a lot of landlords hand over the eviction process to their solicitor.0 -

Providing the Landlord served the notices correctly, that's it done.
