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

1. Notice Of Section 8 Or Section 21

According to the 1988 Housing Act, you need to give out a Section 8 or 21 notice in case you wish for your Halifax occupant to vacate your property in Hipperholme, Northowram, or Brighouse.

Section 21 is a notice of possession that is served to the Halifax tenant by Denbigh Franks to provide them with a 'notice of possession'.

This means also you can initiate an agreed break clause at a fixed-term tenancy's end, or the possession of the property in Halifax, West Yorkshire, can be taken back.

The important thing is that serving an authentic Section 21 notice in West Yorkshire does not require that you provide any reasons to claim possession.

Eviction notice under Section 8 needs grounds for eviction to be served in Halifax, West Yorkshire.

Examples include unpaid rent in Hipperholme by tenant or damage done to your property in Brighouse, or making disturbances in Northowram.

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

But in this situation, you need evidence for the eviction should your tenant go to court to dispute your claim in West Yorkshire.

You can send notices spontaneously and both notices produce the same result and get you the possession of your property in Halifax back.

A Section 21 notice is not an eviction notice but used to inform the Halifax tenant that the landlord wants to repossess the property in Northowram, Hipperholme, or Brighouse immediately they move out.

To start with, give the Halifax tenant a 2-month eviction notice, informing them to vacate your property in West Yorkshire once the tenancy expires.

Also, you may give it out regardless of whether the leaseholder in Halifax is complying without you stating any grounds for retrieving your asset in West Yorkshire.

But, you will need to serve the notice properly in case you want to prove it in West Yorkshire court.

As of 01 October 2018, it is applicable to all tenancy agreements in West Yorkshire.
