A Section 8 Notice is a notice given under Section 8 of the Housing Act 1988. It is used by landlords when there is a specific reason why they wish to terminate a tenancy agreement. This could be due to the tenant breaching the tenancy agreement, causing damage to the property, not paying the rent or another reason. A Section 8 Notice gives the tenant notice that the landlord intends to take legal action to recover possession of the property and specifies the legal ground(s) on which possession is being sought. There are 17 total grounds for eviction under Section 8 found in Schedule 2 of the Housing Act 1988. The first 8 grounds, including serious rent arrears, are mandatory grounds for possession. Grounds 9 to 17 are discretionary, meaning the court can decide whether or not to grant possession depending on the circumstances. Different grounds have different notice periods for how soon you can ask the court to grant possession, with some being two weeks and some being up to two months.

How do I serve notice on my tenants to end the tenancy? There are many circumstances where a Landlord may need vacant possession of the property back i.e. the Landlord may be selling the property, or may need to move back into the property themselves. For Assured Shorthold Tenancies (ASTs), the most common way to regain possession is by using a Section 21 notice. Section 21 notices can be used after the fixed term tenancy ends, or during a periodic (rolling) tenancy. A Section 21 notice must give your Tenants at least 2 months to vacate the property. It's crucial to complete and serve the notice correctly, and ensure that the tenancy has been set up and managed in compliance with the law. Any mistakes could invalidate the notice, potentially leading to its dismissal in court. Therefore, it is advisable to hire an experienced and knowledgeable letting agent to handle this process for you. It is worth noting that The Renters (Reform) Bill which is going through parliament at the moment, aims to abolish Section 21 notices, and reform the way that Landlords end a tenancy.

Here are some clauses in a tenancy agreement that both parties should carefully consider: 1. Rental-free periods that may not be financially feasible. 2. Specific purposes of tenancy and restrictions on altering those purposes. 3. Requirements for restoring the premises upon termination that may be overly demanding. 4. Double rental payments upon early termination or expiration of the tenancy. 5. Landlord's consent or prohibition on subletting, despite the tenant's intentions. 6. Unnecessary prohibitions unrelated to the tenancy's purpose, such as restrictions on certain chemicals. 7. Conditions regarding the use of deposits by the landlord instead of outright forfeiture. 8. Tenancy duration and renewal options differing from the agreed terms. While tenancy agreements may appear straightforward, it's crucial not to overlook these details as they can potentially harm either party later on. Nazmi Zaini Chambers #tenancy #drafting #business
