Hi - would love some help on this.
I served my tenants up with the notice 21 in April. I said to them tho, they can take re time finding somewhere ( 6 months). But I have no read I need to start legal proceedings before July 31st otherwise the notice 21 won’t be valid? Is that right ? If so can I start legal proceddings but delay everything legally to give my tenants time to leave by say October?
What date did you set the s21 to expire? If it was before the end of July then you can start proceedings straight after the end date. You cant artificially delay, but it will probably take a lot longer than October before the bailiffs remove them anyway.
We gave them 6 months notice. I wanted to give them as long as possible. Ideally I don’t want to start court proceedings, but I’ve read I have to (if I understand it right) as the trasintional law. Can I just not do anything and they have until October before I do anything. I don’t mind it taking time, just wanted to have something in place legally if they never move.
Then the notice is of no use, since you cant apply for a court order until it expires and thats too late.
