How To Evict A Shropshire Tenant Without Going To Shropshire Court

1. Section 8 Or 21 Notice

If you are planning to let your Shropshire tenant know that they should leave your property in Oakengates-Donnington, Telford, and Shrewsbury, there is a necessity to serve section 8 or section 21 under the 1988 Housing Act.

A Section 21 notice of possession is served by Denbigh Franks to give 'notice of possession' to the tenant in Shropshire.

It means the landlord can trigger an agree break clause at the end of a fixed-term tenancy or they can take back the possession of their property in Shropshire, Shropshire.

When serving a section 21 notice you don't need a reason in Shropshire for taking back possession of your property.

A Section 8 notice is served in Shropshire, Shropshire, when the landlord has solid reason to evict the tenant.

Some of the grounds for giving the Section 8 notice are causing nuisance in Oakengates-Donnington, failure to pay rent in Shrewsbury, and causing damage to property in Telford.

In such situations, the lease may be discontinued during its fixed term if the occupant in Shropshire has violated the tenancy agreement.

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

The notices are totally independent and are served for different reasons, but produce the same result- getting your Shropshire property back.

2. Denbigh Franks Issue A Section 21 Notice Of Possession

Normally, a Section 21 notice does not mean immediate eviction but a notification to the tenant in Shropshire that the landlord wishes to reacquire their property in Shrewsbury, Oakengates-Donnington, or Telford.

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

A Section 21 notice is served in Shropshire in two situations either the term has come to an end or there is a break in a clause that can be triggered.

There is no need to provide a reason for taking possession of the property in Shropshire and you are allowed to serve this notice even if the Shropshire tenant hasn't done anything wrong.

Having said that, the notice should be issued in the right manner if you desire to justify it in the court in Shropshire.

The 2015 Deregulation Act instigated reforms on how lease agreements were going to be ended by serving a Sec. 21 notice.

Before, it applied to only Shropshire tenancy agreements on or after October 1, 2015.

Eventually on the 01 October 2018, it is applicable to all agreements in Shropshire thenceforth.

The most significant and valid rules are:

Denbigh Franks cannot issue a Section 21 notice in the first four months of the tenancy, however, if the tenant in Shropshire renewed the lease after a fixed term expired, you can issue a Section 21 notice at any time you wish to do so in the duration of the renewed tenancy.

The Notice of Section 21 shall only be valid for six months from the date on which it was issued, unless possession proceedings in Shropshire, Shropshire have been issued for a period of six months, another Notice shall be notified.

The tenant in Shropshire has the right to contact the local housing authority after you refused to attend to his complaint's about the condition of your property in Shropshire; If the local housing authority issues a notice after the routine complaint, the Section 21 Notice becomes invalid.

Make sure that you use the appropriate 6A form under Section 21.

The validity of Section 21 notice becomes effective the moment the leaseholder in Shropshire is given the following once they start renting:

A Gas Safety Certificate

An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)
