How Do I Evict Tenants In Newcastle Without Going To Court In Tyne and Wear

1. Deciding On A Section 21 Or Section 8 Notice

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

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

This means that, at the end of a tenancy agreement in Newcastle, Tyne and Wear, that is fixed-term, you can resume your property's possession or engage in a break clause that is agreed.

If a legal notice of Section 21 is served in Tyne and Wear, you are not liable to provide a reason when claiming possession.

First, the Section 8 notice can only be served if the tenant in Tyne and Wear's Newcastle had crossed the line and come into some problems.

It means that the tenant didn't pay the rent in Washington or has caused any damage to your property in Tynemouth, or has caused disturbance in Wallsend.

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

If the tenant disputes, which could result in court action in Tyne and Wear, have enough evidence to back your action.

These notices served for different reasons and are independent of each other, nevertheless, you will repossess your property in Newcastle with either of the notices.

2. Give A Section 21 Notice With Denbigh Franks's Help

Technically a section 21 notice isn't an eviction notice, it's a notice meant to let the tenant in Newcastle know that you, the landlord, wish to repossess the property in Wallsend, Washington, or Tynemouth once they leave.

First of all, you need to give a 2 months' notice to the tenants in Newcastle informing them that they need to leave the premises in Tyne and Wear by the end of the tenancy.

You can issue a Section 21 notice of possession in Newcastle, especially when a fixed term of tenancy expires, and the tenancy agreement provides a break clause that triggers.

You will do it even if the Newcastle 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.

However, a section 21 notice must be served well for you to be able to enforce it in Tyne and Wear court.

You should note that the Deregulation Act 2015 brought changes to the way you can end tenancies using the provisions of a section 21 rule of law.

In the beginning, this act was only limited to the tenancy agreements in Newcastle on or after 1 October 2015.

But three years later to all Tyne and Wear tenancies it applies, regardless of the time it was agreed.

Some of the rules are:

Remember that Denbigh Franks cannot serve the Section 21 notice during the 4 months of the tenancy, but you can serve the Section 21 notice if the Newcastle tenancy is renewed after the end of a fixed term, so you can serve a Section 21 notice at any time after renewing the tenancy.

The validity period of the Section 21 notice is 6 months from the date it was issued, so another notice will need to be served if the possession proceedings in Newcastle, Tyne and Wear are not initiated within 6 months' period.

If you don't deal with a legitimate complaint about the Tyne and Wear property by the tenant, the tenant in Newcastle is permitted to refer the case to the local housing authority; Section 21 notice issued after referring the complaint to the local housing authority is invalid.

You should use a Form 6A in line with the Section 21 Notice.

The tenant in Newcastle must also be provided with the following information once they start renting for a Section 21 to be considered as valid:

A Gas Safety Certificate

An EPC (Energy Performance Certificate)

The 'How to Rent' guide must also be given to a tenant at the beginning of any new tenancy

3. Denbigh Franks Can Issue A Section 8 Notice In Newcastle

If you have more than one solid reasons for evicting your Tynemouth, Wallsend, or Washington tenant, the eviction process in Newcastle can begin by furnishing a Section 8 notice.

Schedule 2 of the Housing Act 1988 provides grounds applicable for issuing a Section 8 Eviction order in Tyne and Wear.

In most cases, tenants are evicted in Newcastle, Tyne and Wear, due to:

Unpaid rent

Damage of property

Nuisance

In order to use Section 8 for serving our notice to your tenants in Washington, Wallsend, or Tynemouth, you must fill in the notice seeking possession of a property let on an assured tenancy or assured agriculture occupancy.

Remember to point out the reason(s) why you are evicting the tenant in Newcastle and ensure you give between two (2) weeks and two (2) months for the tenant to vacate the property.

Make sure you apply to the Tyne and Wear court for a possession order as it would come in handy when the Newcastle tenant doesn't vacate your property at the date.

4. Make An Order Of Possession In Newcastle, Tyne and Wear

In Newcastle, you have the right take action if your tenant isn't leaving the property after being served an eviction notice from Denbigh Franks.

If you issued a section 21 eviction notice, you aren't demanding for unpaid rent in Newcastle and there is a signed agreement, you can go for an accelerated possession order.

The standard possession claim can be used in Newcastle when either a section 8 or a section 21 notice was served or you would wish to recover your property in Washington, Wallsend, or Tynemouth and as well as unpaid rent arrears.

The landlord also possesses the prerogative to request the Tyne and Wear bailiff to remove the tenant from their property in Newcastle which can take anywhere from four to many more weeks determined by the court, in case the tenant extends their stay even after getting the notice.
