If you wish to remove Shrewsbury tenants from a rental property in Shrewsbury, Oswestry/Croeswallt, or Ashford Bowdler, you have to serve them a Section 8 or Section 21 notice as per the Housing Act of 1988.
To initiate the process of eviction in Shrewsbury, you need to enlist Denbigh Franks to issue a Section 21 notice to the tenant.
This also means that you have the authority to initiate a break clause that was agreed upon and repossess your Shrewsbury premises in Shropshire.
You should keep in mind that after serving a valid Section 21 notice in Shropshire, you won't have to provide any reason to claim possession.
However, if you have solid grounds for eviction, serve the Section 8 notice in Shrewsbury in Shropshire.
For example, if the tenant is causing a nuisance in Shrewsbury, damaging the property in Ashford Bowdler, or has not paid the rent in Oswestry/Croeswallt.
If the tenant in Shrewsbury breaches the tenancy agreement, terminate the tenancy.
However, it could lead to a dispute between both parties that ends in going to court in Shropshire where sufficient proof for eviction will have to presented.
Both Section 8 and Section 21 notice operate differently to let you recover your property, however, they produce the same result - helping you repossess your property in Shrewsbury.
In the practical sense, a Section 21 is not a notice of eviction, but is used to notify your tenant in Shrewsbury that you would like to repossess your property in Shrewsbury, Oswestry/Croeswallt, or Ashford Bowdler as soon as they have vacated your property.
Giving the tenant in Shrewsbury not less than two months' notice is the first step, informing them that they are to vacate the Shropshire property at the end of the tenancy.
You can issue a Section 21 notice of possession in Shrewsbury, especially when a fixed term of tenancy expires, and the tenancy agreement provides a break clause that triggers.
Additionally, you reserve the right to issue it without giving any reason of retrieving your property in Shropshire even if the Shrewsbury tenant is dutiful.
However, you must issue the notice the right way if you wish to enforce it in the courthouse in Shropshire.
The 2015 Deregulation Act brought changes to the way tenancies can be concluded using the Section 21 procedure.
In the beginning, it just applied to Shrewsbury tenancy agreements on or after 1 October 2015.
But three years later to all Shropshire tenancies it applies, regardless of the time it was agreed.
The key rules include:
During the first four months, a Section 21 notice can't be served by Denbigh Franks, but if the tenancy has been renewed after the end of a fixed term, you can serve a Section 21 notice in Shrewsbury at any point.
A Section 21 notice is valid for the first six months of its issuance, and if the proceedings of possessions in Shropshire's Shrewsbury are not given within the six-month duration, another notice will need to be issued.
If the landlord does not respond to the tenant's legitimate concerns regarding the Shropshire property's conditions, the Shrewsbury tenant reserves the prerogative to involve the local housing authority; In response to that, the local housing authority can issue a notice to the landlord which invalidates the Section 21 notice.
To make a Section 21 notice, you must use form 6A.
For Section 21 notice to be binding, you must inform the tenant in Shrewsbury about the following items when they come to rent the property:
A safety certificate for Gas
A certificate for energy performance
