How Can I Evict Tenants In Taunton Without Visiting Court At Somerset

1. Which Notice Section 21 Or Section 8

If you want your Taunton tenant to leave your property in Bridgwater, Burnham-on-Sea, or Hastings and also willing to serve them with notification regarding this then you will have to send them Section 21 of Section 8 notice under Housing Act 1988.

Section 21 notice is a notice of possession served by Denbigh Franks which means that you are seeking for the possession of your property in Taunton.

This also means that you have the authority to initiate a break clause that was agreed upon and repossess your Taunton premises in Somerset.

Importantly, you do not have to give any reason to claim possession when you submit a valid Notice to Section 21 in Somerset.

You can issue your tenant a Section 8 eviction notice in Somerset's Taunton if the tenant breaches any terms of the tenancy agreement.

For instance, rent arrears in Bridgwater, violation of the tenancy agreement in Burnham-on-Sea, causing nuisance or damage to the property in Hastings.

In this case, you can end the Taunton tenancy agreement whilst it's fixed-term is happening is the tenant has broken the agreement.

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

The orders can be served for separate reasons, without any connection to each other, to achieve the same result which is to possess your Taunton property.

2. Denbigh Franks Serve A Section 21 Notice Of Possession

Normally, a Section 21 notice does not mean immediate eviction but a notification to the tenant in Taunton that the landlord wishes to reacquire their property in Hastings, Burnham-on-Sea, or Bridgwater.

The first move is to let the Taunton occupant realize for no longer than two months that you need them to leave the premises in Somerset at the end of the tenancy.

You can serve a Section 21 notice of possession in Taunton 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 have the right to do so even if your tenant in Taunton has not violated any term of the agreement and you also don't need to provide a reason for getting the possession of your property in Somerset back.

However, if you want to be able to enforce the notice in the court in Somerset, you must serve the Section 21 notice accurately.

Some of the changes are done by the Deregulation Act 2015 through which tenancies can be brought to an end with the procedure.

Initially, it only applied to Taunton holdings that had been agreed on or after 1 October 2015.

However, after 1 October 2018, it applies to all tenancies in Somerset.

The essential things you should note are:

Denbigh Franks cannot issue a Section 21 notice in the first four months of the tenancy, however, if the tenant in Taunton 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 is only legitimate for 6 months starting from the date it was served, but another notice can be issued if proceedings of possession in Somerset's Taunton are provided within the 6-month period.

If you don't deal with a legitimate complaint about the Somerset property by the tenant, the tenant in Taunton 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.

The right form (the Form 6A) must be used when serving the Section 21 Notice.

The validity of the Section 21 Notice is enhanced when the following are provided the Taunton tenant at the start of the rent period:

A Gas Safety Certificate

An Energy Performance Certificate

At the start of every new tenancy, the tenants must be given "how to rent guide"

3. Hand Over A Section 8 Notice From Denbigh Franks In Taunton

If you have reasons to evict a tenant in Burnham-on-Sea, Bridgwater, or Hastings, you can start the eviction process in Taunton by serving a Section 8 notice asking for possession.

You will find the grounds for serving this notice in Somerset in the Housing Act 1988, Schedule 2.

These are the most popular reasons for a tenant eviction in Somerset's Taunton:

Lack of paying rent

Damaging of property

Nuisance

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

You should state the reasons for your removal from Taunton on the memo and forward the memo two weeks or two months prior according to the conditions applied.

If the tenant in Taunton refuses to move out after the notice, you will apply to the Somerset court for a possession order.

4. Make An Order Of Possession In Somerset's Taunton

If your tenant in Taunton refuses to leave even after being served with an eviction notice from Denbigh Franks, then you can take the necessary action against them.

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

If you are willing to get your property back in Bridgwater, Burnham-on-Sea, or Hastings as well as claiming the pending dues from the tenant then standard possession claim in Taunton can be used, if you served anyone of Section 8 or section 21 notice.

On top of that, in case the tenant doesn't leave the property in Taunton after the order has been expired, it will be needed to instruct the Bailiff of the County Court of Somerset to evict, which can take from four to six weeks or even longer depending on the court.
