Rent Arrears of over four months – Section 8 notice – Matter represented by us – Outcome

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

Upon getting nowhere with the payment of rent arrears, the Landlord approached us to serve section 8 notice to the tenant. After perusal of the documents, we advised the landlord to serve both Section 8 notice and section 21 notice. Upon the first hearing, the tenant was represented by the Duty Solicitor. The tenant and the duty solicitors tried hard to avoid eviction and asked for an adjournment. Based on Section 21 notice, we requested the court to hand over the possession order and money claim can go separate. The Court got convinced and granted the possession order. On the Second Hearing, we approached the court and confirmed that the tenant have failed to file defence and the counter-claim. After going through the documents, the court became satisfied to order to the tenant to:

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