Evicting Tenants In Gateshead Without The Need For Court At Tyne and Wear

1. Notice Of Section 8 Or Section 21

Under the Housing Act 1988, you are required to serve a Section 8 or Section 21 notice if you want your tenant in Gateshead to move out of your rental property in Bar Moor, Allerdene, or Carr Hill.

A Section 21 notice is served to a Gateshead tenant by Denbigh Franks to give them 'notice of seeking possession' of the property.

A Section 21 notice of possession means you can take back ownership of the Gateshead property in Tyne and Wear at the end of a fixed-term agreement, or activate an agreed break clause.

On top of that, you should consider that you don't need to give any reason to claim possession in Tyne and Wear when you hand a legal Section 21 notice.

A Section 8 notice is issued in case the property holder in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, has reasons for ejection.

It is ideal for defaulting tenants in Carr Hill or those damaging your property in Allerdene, or those making a nuisance in Bar Moor.

In any of those cases, you will be able to end the tenancy in Gateshead throughout its fixed term in case the tenant has broken the tenancy agreement.

But your tenant may disagree and then you will have to go to court in Tyne and Wear to provide evidence of the reason for eviction.

The orders can be served for separate reasons, without any connection to each other, to achieve the same result which is to possess your Gateshead property.

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

Generally, a section 21 notice is not considered a notice of eviction but rather it notifies your tenants in Gateshead that you want to get back your property in Bar Moor, Allerdene, or Carr Hill when they leave.

As the property holder in Tyne and Wear, you need to, first of all, serve your tenants in Gateshead with a two-month's notice before the end of your lease agreement.

If a fixed term of the tenancy comes ends or there is a break clause that can be triggered, in Gateshead you can serve a section 21 notice of possession.

You will do it even if the Gateshead occupant has done nothing wrong and you don't have to give a reason to reclaim the empty possession of the property in Tyne and Wear.

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

The deregulation of Act 2015 introduced new rules and regulations to Section 21 on how tenancies would be dissolved.

The Act was only inclusive of Gateshead tenancy agreements on or after 01 October 2015.

Now, it applies to all the tenancy agreements in Tyne and Wear starting from October 1, 2018.

The important rules you need to know are as follows:

Denbigh Franks can only serve it after four months of tenancy, however, for renewed tenancy in Gateshead, you can serve a Section 21 Notice at your discretion.

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 Tyne and Wear's Gateshead.

The tenant in Gateshead can refer to the local housing authority if you could not sort out the tenants' complaints regarding your Tyne and Wear property condition; Once the local housing authority issued a notice the section 21, notice issued after the initial complaint will be invalid.

If you want to serve a section 21 notice, you must consider using the form 6A.

The Section 21 is genuine only if the tenant in Gateshead is given the following at the time of renting:

A Gas Safety Certificate

An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)

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