Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Section 21 notice?

A Section 21 notice is a legal notice served by a landlord to regain possession of a property let on an assured shorthold tenancy. It's often referred to as a 'no-fault' eviction notice as the landlord doesn't need to provide a reason for wanting possession.

How can I handle tenants in rent arrears?

We can assist with issuing proper notices, negotiating payment plans, and if necessary, pursuing possession proceedings through the courts to recover your property and outstanding rent.

What are the requirements for tenancy deposit protection?

Landlords must protect tenants' deposits in a government-approved scheme within 30 days of receiving the deposit and provide prescribed information to the tenant. Failure to comply can result in penalties.

Can I evict a tenant without going to court?

No, it is illegal to evict a tenant without following the proper legal process. This includes obtaining a court order for possession and using bailiffs if the tenant doesn't leave voluntarily after the order is granted.
