How To Evict A Cambridge Tenant Without Going To Cambridgeshire Court

1. Section 21 Or Section 8 Notice

If you wish to remove Cambridge tenants from a rental property in Cambridge, Chippenham, or Carlton, you have to serve them a Section 8 or Section 21 notice as per the Housing Act of 1988.

Section 21 is Notice of Possession is for giving Cambridge tenants 'possession notice', served by Denbigh Franks.

Meaning at the tenancy agreement that is fixed-term's end you can repossess your property in Cambridgeshire's Cambridge, or trigger a break clause that is agreed.

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

A Section 8 notice is served in Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, when the landlord has solid reason to evict the tenant.

For example, if the tenant is causing a nuisance in Cambridge, damaging the property in Carlton, or has not paid the rent in Chippenham.

If such were to be the case, then you have the right to terminate the tenancy in Cambridge during the fixed term.

But, the occupant may disagree with it and force you to move to court in Cambridgeshire in order to give sufficient proof for eviction.

Both Section 8 and Section 21 notice operate differently to let you recover your property, however, they produce the same result - helping you repossess your property in Cambridge.
