Rent Arrears – receiving Housing Benefits but no top-up payment – Section 8 notice and section 21 notice – Matter represented by us – on the first hearing – Outcome

Possession in 14 days, Payment of all rent arrears and costs

The tenant lived in the tenancy property from the last eight years. She was always inconsistent in rent payment. The landlord never received from her from the past over one year, however, he received partial rent from the Housing Benefits. In the financial crisis himself, the landlord approached us for eviction. We serve both section 8 notice and section 21 notice and took the matter to the court. The tenant was represented by Duty Solicitor who tried to seek an adjournment. However, we opposed it hardly and pressed the case is very clear. With our robust arguments, the court ordered the tenant to:-

Vacate the property in 14 days and pay all the costs and rent arrears.
