Section 21 proof of receipt

Tenant signed an AST on 11th May 2014 and was handed a Section 21 on 27th may 2014. She has been nothing but trouble, I did the council a favour by taking this girl on when she was homeless and 8 months pregnant. Section 21 proof of receipt

Since then her boyfriend has broken into the property grabbed the child and attacked a man before chasing him down the street with a knife. He is now in prison.

I have asked the tenant to leave at the end of the AST but she is now saying she never received the S21. I have today emailed her social worker with a copy of the S21 but she is refusing to accept it from her. It is now less than 8 weeks to the end of her AST.

What should I do?

Regards

George

I have taken legal advice and have been told that as I had someone witness me giving/posting through door the section 21 on the 27th May 2014 it is still enforceable. I have since had someone witness me handing the tenant a copy of this

Create a file note in effect a confirmation of service form and get a friend to witness it for you backdated to the date you served the original.

Naughty but effective especially when you swear to it in Court

I did have someone (in car) with me when I delivered the original section 21, I just didn't know that a witness statement by them was enough to satisfy a judge
