Tenant Eviction
For tenant eviction a landlord would generally serve one of two notices under the Housing Act 1988. A Section 8 Notice is a 14-day notice seeking possession due to rent arrears, nuisance or breach of tenancy. A Section 21 Notice is a two month notice to terminate a tenancy agreement and seek possession. Legal 4 Landlords often serve both simultaneously.
It's all about paperwork! The smallest mistake can cause a case to be delayed. Doing the right paperwork (and doing it properly) is one of the most important things that Legal 4 Landlords do.

Tenant Eviction Process - Fixed Fees Explained
Serve Tenant Notice
We serve the section 8 notice & section 21 notice on your tenant for breach of tenancy agreement, as the first step of our tenant eviction services. This is when most tenants realise how serious you are, and in most cases it's the only jolt they need.
Court Proceedings & Hearing
To evict a bad tenant, we issue court proceedings against your tenant, arrange the court date, arrange all your legal papers and go before the judge to obtain a possession order for regaining property. This fee also includes a Court Issue Fee.
Instruct Certificated Bailiffs
Very few nuisance tenants will remain in a property after the court has ordered the tenant to leave and the bailiff date is instructed. We arrange for the court bailiffs to remove your tenant, and you get your property back.
Fixed Fees Explained
Our fees are fixed due to one, the amount of evictions we do therefore we can justify a cost effective service. Secondly with regards to Eviction Step Two, most cases are not defended by the tenant, thus reducing the amount of time utilised in court by our solicitors.
However, there are some cases where by the judge may adjourn the court hearing or the tenant puts in a strong defence. As I am sure you can appreciate, if this does happen, which is rare we will continue to move forward with this case on your behalf at an agreed fee.
This fee will be much lower for you rather than opting to use your own solicitor, on the other hand if you would like to continue with your own solicitor we would hand over all case information to you at no charge.
Hopefully this will not happen, but we as Legal 4 Landlords cannot guarantee it.
