tennant being a problem

Hi all
I have tennant who's being very noisy the neighbours have complained about him and the police have been out becuase he plays his music to loud. I have also warned him verbally a couple of times.
He initally signed a contract for 6 months, those 6 months are now up, we are now in the 8 month. He has two months to go before he moves out. However, can i ask him to leave before then ? or do i still need to serve him with a two month notice ?
any advice appreciated.

You can ask him but he doesn't have to agree if he doesn't want to.
Did you think the law may allow you to get rid of him instantly if he plays music too loud?0 -
you need to write to him and explain his legal responsibilities to his neighbours and remind him of his agreement (i hope there is a "neighbours - be kind to them - clause in his AST) - if you are not seen to be doing something the neighbours will contact Environmental Health and they will write to you. You are responsible for your tenants anti social behaviour - yes - its true.
However, if you write to him and if you give him notice early - he may get arsey and not want to leave on time !!
Talk to him calmly - negotiate an early departure - i have paid tenants to leave early before now - makes them feel they have "got on over you" - but i've got my house back in good order !!!

Don't hound him though. He may see the irony in making a complaint against you, citing that he is entitled to his peace and quiet.0
