    Question Section 8 & Section 21

    Hi

    I'm a fairly new landlord. I have an ongoing problem with my ex-tenant which is detailed in another thread, but meanwhile I have another question:

    What exactly are Sections 8 & 21? From what I've read on threads here, it seems to relate to giving notice to tenants, but which part relates to what?

    Any & all advice welcome!!

    TIA

    I think you need some professional help/a good Landlord book ASAP!

    God knows what else you havent done;

    - DPS?
    - Gas Saftey?
    - EPC?

    Many thanks Latvia3 - I shall take a look now.

    Actually Planner I DO have the following:

    DPS -If you bothered to read my other thread, it makes mention of this. i.e. the deposit is fully protected as required by law.
    Gas Safety - The certificate is current until November.
    EPC - The EPC requirement came in just as I let my house, so YES I DO have one!

    I came on here to ask advice not for sarky comments. If you have something constructive to say, then I shall be happy to engage. If not, then don't bother!

    Section 8 Notice of Seeking Possession you would serve for rent arrears, either using ground 8 (mandatory) or grounds 10 and 11 (discretionary).

    Section 21 Notice of Seeking Possession you would use to bring a tenancy to an end for any other reason you may have.

    I think all Planner meant was cover your backside if you are starting out as a landlord - the horror stories on here from both landlords and tenants speak for themselves.

    Hello jackieandwayne

    Yes - I think that was what Planner meant, but it came out all wrong to me! I felt the way his comments were couched was not helpful. I've read a great many threads on here, and I did think the Sections 8 & 21 referred to eviction and grounds for the same, but wanted to make sure...

    I have another thread which refers to my ex-tenant trouble. So far, I've gone by the book, and in any case the tenant DID move out so the S8 & 21 as I understand it would not have applied.

    But I'm a great believer in the adage 'Knowledge is Power', which is why I asked the question.

    Many thanks for your comments and help anyway!
