Without Going To Court In West Yorkshire, How Do I Evict A Bradford Tenant

1. Section 8 Or Section 21 Notice

Under the Housing Act 1988, you are required to serve a Section 8 or Section 21 notice if you want your tenant in Bradford to move out of your rental property in Bolton, Bradford, or Keighley.

You are to simply serve a "Notice of Possession" with Denbigh Franks to the tenant stating your intention to take back the Bradford property.

This signifies that you can take your possession of property in West Yorkshire's Bradford back at the end of a fixed-term tenancy agreement.

The reasons of eviction in West Yorkshire do not have to be mentioned when carrying out a Section 21 notice.

When you have grounds for eviction in West Yorkshire's Bradford, you can consider serving a Section 8 eviction notice.

Of example, the occupant in Bradford has not paid the rent, destroyed the property in Bolton or created a disturbance in Keighley.

So, Section 8 notice is served when the tenant in Bradford has breached the agreement of tenancy.

However, the tenant has the right to challenge your termination that can lead the matter to court in West Yorkshire and you have to provide the proof of eviction grounds in the court.

If you are serving both notices at the same time but independently, you will get your property in Bradford back after both notices.

2. Serving A Section 21 Notice With The Assistance Of Denbigh Franks

Normally, a Section 21 notice though considered as an eviction notice, it only informs the tenants in Bradford about your wish to repossess your asset in Bolton, Bradford, or Keighley once they vacate.

The first legal action is to give your tenant in Bradford a minimum of two months' notice to vacate the West Yorkshire property once the tenancy period expires.

You can serve a Section 21 notice of possession in Bradford if a fixed term of the tenancy has ended or is there is a break clause in the agreement which can be initiated.

As the landlord, you are not required to give any reason to the Bradford tenant for gaining possession of your property in West Yorkshire.

But you must serve the Section 21 notice in an accurate way if you are willing for its enforcement in the West Yorkshire court.

The Deregulations Act 2015 has altered the way in which tenancies can be finished.

In the beginning, this act was only limited to the tenancy agreements in Bradford on or after 1 October 2015.

However, it applies to all tenancies in West Yorkshire from 1 October 2018 onwards.

Below are details about the rules:

Section 21 notifications may not be received from Denbigh Franks during the first four months of the tenancy however, if the tenancy has been extended after the expiration of the fixed term, Section 21 notice may be issued at any time in Bradford during the duration of the renewed tenancy.

The validity of section 21 notice is 6 months and if the matter has not been determined within the 6 months, the landlord will have to serve another notice in West Yorkshire's Bradford.

A section 21 notice cannot be served if tenants in Bradford have complained about the conditions of the building and no response was provided by the West Yorkshire landlord; Issuing a notice after a complaint about the premises will not be considered especially if you get served with a Local Housing Authority notice.

Make use of the form 6A to issue a section 21 notice.

Before, a Section 21 notice you serve can be valid, you must give your Bradford tenant the following information when they rent your property:

Gas Safety Certificate

An Energy Performance Certificate

At the beginning of a new lease, you must give the new tenant the guide on 'How to Rent'

3. In Bradford Serve A Section 8 Notice With Denbigh Franks's Support

If you have reasons to evict a tenant in Keighley, Bolton, or Bradford, you can start the eviction process in Bradford by serving a Section 8 notice asking for possession.

The basis for the notice in West Yorkshire is in Schedule 2 of the Housing Act 1988.

Some of the reasons why you should evict a tenant in West Yorkshire's Bradford are:

Rent arrears

Damage to the property

Causing trouble

To issue Section 8 notice to a tenant in Keighley, Bradford, or Bolton, fill a "Notice requesting possession of a property let on an assured agricultural occupancy or an assured tenancy."

On the notice, you will have to mention the grounds for eviction in Bradford and issue the notice two months or two weeks before depending on the terms you are using.

In case your tenants in Bradford don't leave by the stated date, then you will be able to apply to the West Yorkshire court for a possession order.

4. Apply For A Possession Order In Bradford In West Yorkshire

There are chances that your Bradford tenant may refuse to vacate your property even after getting the notice from Denbigh Franks, so be prepared to act.

With Section 21 notice, you can accelerate the order process in Bradford, especially if you don't want to claim unpaid rent or if a written tenancy agreement exists.

If you had issued a section 8 or 21 notice and want to recover your property in Bradford, Bolton, or Keighley and ask for unpaid rents from the tenant, you can make use of the standard claim for repossession in Bradford of your property.

If your tenant in Bradford does not leave within the stipulated time, you have the right to instruct the West Yorkshire court bailiff to escort the tenant out of the property and can take four or more weeks depending on the court.
