How To Carry Out Evictions Of Tenants In Staffordshire Without Going To Court In Staffordshire

1. Section 8 Or Section 21 Notice

If you wish to remove Staffordshire tenants from a rental property in Newcastle-under-Lyme, Cannock, or Tamworth, you have to serve them a Section 8 or Section 21 notice as per the Housing Act of 1988.

A Section 21 notice is served to a Staffordshire tenant by Denbigh Franks to give them 'notice of seeking possession' of the property.

The landlord is capable of starting an agreed break clause or they can repossess their property in Staffordshire's Staffordshire at the fixed-term tenancy's end.

You should keep in mind that after serving a valid Section 21 notice in Staffordshire, you won't have to provide any reason to claim possession.

You can serve a Section 8 eviction notice in Staffordshire's Staffordshire when you have grounds for eviction.

Examples include unpaid rent in Tamworth by tenant or damage done to your property in Cannock, or making disturbances in Newcastle-under-Lyme.

If the tenant in Staffordshire has violated the tenancy agreement, the landlord can end the tenancy during a fixed term.

But your tenant may disagree and then you will have to go to court in Staffordshire to provide evidence of the reason for eviction.

Although the notices serve different reasons and are completely independent, they generate the same result, which includes you obtaining your Staffordshire residence back.

2. Denbigh Franks Provide A Section 21 Notice Of Possession

Normally, a Section 21 notice though considered as an eviction notice, it only informs the tenants in Staffordshire about your wish to repossess your asset in Tamworth, Newcastle-under-Lyme, or Cannock once they vacate.

The first thing you do as a landlord is to issue your tenant in Staffordshire with a notice to exit the Staffordshire property two months before the tenancy agreement comes to an end.

You can serve a Section 21 notice of possession in Staffordshire if a there is a break clause that can be triggered or if the fixed term of the tenancy has come to an end.

You can choose to issue this notice even when the tenant in Staffordshire did not do anything wrong, and you do not have to give the tenant any reason for wanting to get possession of your property in Staffordshire.

To enforce this notice in Staffordshire court, serve the Section 21 notice properly.

The Deregulation Act 2015 made shift in the way in which the operation of the Section 21 rule would put an end to the holdings.

It is applied to the Staffordshire tenancies that were signed on or after 1 October 2015.

From 1 October 2018, this Act is applied to all tenancy agreements in Staffordshire.

These are the rules that are most important:

Denbigh Franks cannot issue a Section 21 notice in the first four months of the tenancy, however, if the tenant in Staffordshire 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 Section 21 notice can only be valid from the date it was issued within six months and if possession proceedings in Staffordshire's Staffordshire are not issued within the six months period, you will need to serve another notice.

Where the Staffordshire tenant brings up a valid request about the state of the property in Staffordshire, and you fail to act on it, the tenant could report the case to the local housing authority; Note that a section 21 notice that you issue after the complaint of the tenant to the local housing authority is null and void.

3. Denbigh Franks Can Hand A Section 8 Eviction Notice In Staffordshire

4. Make A Possession Order In Staffordshire, Staffordshire

When the tenant in Staffordshire ignores your eviction notice that Denbigh Franks has served and does not vacate the premises, you can act.

If you have previously served a Section 21 notice, and a written lease agreement has been drawn up and there are no unpaid rents, an accelerated possession notice can be used in Staffordshire.

If you are willing to get your property back in Tamworth, Cannock, or Newcastle-under-Lyme as well as claiming the pending dues from the tenant then standard possession claim in Staffordshire can be used, if you served anyone of Section 8 or section 21 notice.

You may take help from the Staffordshire County Court Bailiff to evict if the tenant doesn't leave the property in Staffordshire even after the expiry of the order for possession, and depending on the County court, you'd have to wait for another four to six weeks.
