Reply to the comment left by Stressed landlord at 29/09/2025 - 11:27That is outrageous! It's just so frustrating and unfair!! But I guess the judge has to make sure every process is followed correctly - before gladly evicting her! How...

Reply to the comment left by Stressed landlord at 28/09/2025 - 12:33Honestly, just try not to over think it. This isn't criminal court (no reference to you being a scouser, lol). The one I was at was pretty relaxed, even...

Well if I didn't appreciate how stressful it all is, it would almost be amusing. Talk about last minute clutching.... None of her "defence" options appear on Shelter's website as far as I can tell. And regardless, as someone has...

Reply to the comment left by Stressed landlord at 27/08/2025 – 16:22Nothing to stop you carrying on with the S21 after the S8 court date (if it doesn’t go your way). But it might save you the cost of the...

It isn't clear from her post just how "ready to go" the S21 is. If by the "end" of the S21 she means the end of the required notice period (eg 2 months) she still has to apply for a...

Reply to the comment left by Stressed landlord at 27/08/2025 - 07:05Is there a reason why you can't keep going with both? When you say the S21 "ends" on the 11th September, do you mean that's the date they ought...

If I was a bit younger and had the knowledge that I have now, then I think I would still do it to be honest, or I would still advocate for it. I've learned a lot and reckon I would...

Reply to the comment left by Stressed landlord at 12/08/2025 - 18:15I do get it, same happened to us, we lost a sale. But at least we were getting the rent paid in the end while she let her 2...

The rent being paid directly was easy, the arrears not so much. But if you don't try then you'll definitely get nothing.

If she's on benefits you can apply for the rent to be paid direct to you due to the arrears. Was fairly straightforward the last time I did it, you might even be able to ask for some of the...

Selling up is not the only course of action. We had several properties some which needed licences abd and it would still be an easy NO from me. I guess it comes down to morals and personal integrity - and...

Sadly, I think there will be plenty who will take the fast buck....

The S8 tenant was given emergency accommodation in a hotel some distance away (at least that's what she told me - she never supplied the address as I'm guessing she didn't want to be found due to the arrears). Between...

The Council still told our tenant to remain until the Bailiff then provided them with emergency accommodation.

As many have said, the sensible, non-money grabbing landlords with a conscience and an ounce of consideration about the state of our country and the burden being placed on it my the ever-increasing number of undocumented "criminals" infiltrating it will...

Something to think about... When we were selling our rental properties (through a so-called specialist online agency for landlords who turned out to be a nightmare) their solicitors (a second nightmare) used both S8 and S21s on various properties. One...

Hi Ken, Before spending money on solicitors etc as others have suggested, I would simply contact the court and ask them for clarification. I seem to remember I did this with one of my S21s and I found them to...

Our experience of PIVs in a few properties has been very positive and we have definitely seen a difference between those that have them and those that don't. Plus, it means we do not have to rely on tenants "promising"...

Hello Doug, I've been in a similar situation whilst selling my properties. Initially was able to sell the property with my best tenant with her in situ (through a "specialist" agency who claim to get the best price and the...

Reply to the comment left by Paddy O'Dawes at 09/02/2024 - 17:43Thank you for the useful information and advice. It was just a possible consideration, but it seems it needs more caution. I will wait and see how things pan...
