Without Going To Court In Greater London, How Do I Evict A Haringey Tenant

1. Section 21 Or Section 8 Notice

According to the 1988 Housing Act, you need to give out a Section 8 or 21 notice in case you wish for your Haringey occupant to vacate your property in Bowes Park, Seven Sisters, or Crouch End.

When you give 'notice of possession' to the tenant in Haringey, a Section 21, notice of possession is provided by Denbigh Franks.

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

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

Section 8 notices of eviction shall be given in Haringey, Greater London, when you have the reasons for eviction.

If the tenant disputes, which could result in court action in Greater London, have enough evidence to back your action.
