JackieT Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Hi, I'm new to renting and I let a property to someone who is almost 8 weeks behind with their rent now. I want to serve a Section 8 notice on Grounds 8, 10 and 11. Has anyone got a sample Section 8 notice than they can share with me so that I can serve the notice in the correct format. Thanks, Jackie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jam Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 are u sure it is a section 8 notice you require. For assured shotholds it is usual to serve a section 21 notice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 Jackie, Have you contacted the tenant to ascertain why there has been no payment? It's always good to try to maintain a working relationship with your tenant. If the tenant's reasons are insufficient, there is no sight of the money forthcoming and there is resistance to answer your legitimate questions then by all means go down the legal route. Landlords are not social workers and I'm certainly not advocating this as after all we're running a business. HOWEVER it's always best to take a deep breath and open discussions with a tenant at the first sign of trouble. If this process turns out to be fruitless then by all means go down the legal route as you have a legal right to receive your rent on time. Good luck!

GPEL Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 Section 8 notice on the grounds of 2 months rent arrears is correct, but also serve a Sec 21 as backup, especially if well in to the let. Try to find out what's going on before the formal route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
