I am in the process of evicting a tenant, both sections 8 and 21 have been issued. The tenant has seems to be intent on remaining at my property. They have breached multiple terms within the tenancy agreement (hence the section 8).
The have tried to stop a section 21 being issued by attempting to have a council notice placed on the house, to which the council have categorically rejected. As this plan has failed, they are going down the ‘deposit not protected route’ by instructing a solicitor. The deposit was protected within the required 30 days. I retain signed and witnessed evidence in the forms of the prescribed information and deposit certificate, also the deposit terms and conditions as well as it’s leaflet. The tenant has signed each one of these and a witness has also signed them. Correspondence between us also confirms that they had accessed their deposit account on the day that it was protected. Based on that, if they decide to go to court, do they have any form of case?
Don’t worry about it, they are clearly trying every route in the book to delay the inevitable.
Probably because the council won’t rehouse them unless they are actually evicted.
Stick to your guns, you’ve done everything correctly.
I didn’t say that 'I’ve done everything right ', I’ve listed what I’ve done and I’m asking if that’s enough. I don’t think that your reading my messages properly.
