Advice Landlord News Landlord News Landlords Questions Tenant Eviction

Hi, I have a tenant who is a professional psychiatrist. She has been weirdly difficult to deal with, and I had to serve her a Section 21 notice for being consistently a month behind on rent.

She has claimed she will be on holiday when she needs to move out, at the end of the notice period. She has then indicated she can move out before then, but may well not do so.

Can I insist that I will take possession of the property the day after the end of the notice period, and if so what am I permitted to do with any remaining belongings?

As you can probably tell, I’m not a professional landlord so please excuse my ignorance!

Thank you,
