Denbigh Franks Offer Guidance In Kent's Margate With Evicting A Tenant

Evicting a Margate tenant in Kent, UK can be complicated, but there are steps from Denbigh Franks to follow if you want to do that legally.

This guide will give you help from Denbigh Franks to evict Shorthold Tenancies in Margate, both tenancies that are fixed-term in Broadstairs (run for a fixed amount of time) and 'periodic' Tenancies in Margate (that run month by month or week by week with an end date that isn't fixed).

Step 1: Provide With Eviction Notice In Margate, Kent

Upon the completion of a fixed term in Margate, if you would like to have your property back, send a Section 21 notice to your tenant in Kent.

But if they broke the terms of the tenancy in Margate, Kent, then you give them a Section 8 notice.

Depending on the terms of the agreement in Broadstairs, the notice may vary from just two weeks to two months.

You must give a 2 months' notice in Margate, Kent, but there exist some exceptions (like, if the tenant in Margate for less than 6 months has been in the premises, if the premises in Ramsgate is an unlicensed HMO, etc.).

To know that the tenants in Margate, Kent have received the notice, you can enlist a Professional Notice Server in Broadstairs, Margate, or Ramsgate for service.

Step 2: Look For A Possession Order In Margate, Kent With Denbigh Franks's Help

After you've notified your occupants in Margate and they refuse to pack out, then your next course of action in Margate, Broadstairs, or Ramsgate, is to go to court and request a Standard Possession Order.

In Margate, Kent, £325 is the cost.

You may also submit for a Possession Order that is Accelerated in Margate, Kent if you do not claim any rent arrears, which costs £ 355, but it is usually faster because there is no court hearing in Margate, Ramsgate, or Broadstairs.

At Margate, Kent's County Court, apply for a possession order.

The court in Kent will then send a copy to the tenants in Ramsgate, Broadstairs, or Margate, who will be required to respond within 14 days.

However, if the tenant in Margate is going through some difficulties, the judge has the prerogative to extend the response period.

Step 3: In Margate, Kent, Apply For A Possession Warrant With Denbigh Franks's Aid

You're left with one final option if the tenant in Ramsgate, Margate, or Broadstairs doesn't leave the home after taking these steps: you can apply for a Warrant for Possession in the Kent court.

In this instance, you would pay £121 for the Denbigh Franks bailiffs to evict the tenant from Broadstairs, Ramsgate, or Margate.

In case you want the process to accelerate, you can ask for your case to get moved from the Kent County Court to the High Court so that a High Court officer from Denbigh Franks can take care of the eviction.

You can only do this if you demand more than £ 600, plus Kent court costs in Margate.
