Tenant makes issues

Our Tenant Eviction Services

Evicting a tenant isn’t just about sending a notice it requires a careful legal process. We offer complete eviction solutions designed to help landlords remove tenants safely, lawfully, and quickly.

Section 8 Eviction Notice (Rent Arrears or Breach of Tenancy)

If your tenant has fallen behind on rent or breached the terms of their agreement, our solicitors can serve a Section 8 Notice. This notice informs the tenant of their breach and your intention to seek possession through the courts.

We ensure that all legal grounds and evidence (such as unpaid rent statements or property damage) are properly documented. Once the notice period ends, if the tenant still refuses to leave, we can assist with applying for a possession order.

Section 21 Eviction Notice (End of Tenancy)

When you want your property back after a fixed-term tenancy ends, a Section 21 Notice is the right legal route. Our team ensures that all the required documents — such as tenancy agreements, gas safety certificates, and deposit protection records — are in order before serving the notice.

A correctly issued Section 21 Notice allows landlords to regain possession without needing to prove tenant fault, saving time and avoiding complications.

Court Proceedings and Possession Orders

If your tenant doesn’t leave after receiving a Section 8 or Section 21 notice, the next step is court action. Our experienced Tenant Eviction Solicitors will prepare your claim, file all required paperwork, and represent you in court if needed.

We aim to secure a Possession Order as quickly as possible to restore your right to your property. Once granted, tenants are legally required to vacate by the court’s deadline.

Bailiff Evictions and Enforcement

In cases where a tenant still refuses to leave after a possession order, we can arrange for County Court Bailiffs or High Court Enforcement Officers to carry out the eviction.

Our solicitors handle all applications and coordination with enforcement officers, ensuring a smooth and lawful process. You can trust us to manage every detail until your property is back in your hands.

What Is the Quickest Way to Evict a Tenant Legally?

The easiest and fastest way to evict a tenant is to follow the legal eviction process from the start. Acting outside the law, such as changing locks or removing belongings, can lead to illegal eviction penalties.

Our Eviction Solicitors for Landlords recommend beginning with a valid notice, either a Section 8 or Section 21, depending on the reason for eviction. Once the notice is served correctly, if the tenant doesn’t leave, we apply for a possession order through the court.

Using professional Tenant Eviction Specialists ensures that the paperwork, notice periods, and court applications are all compliant, significantly speeding up the process.

What If a Tenant Refuses to Leave My Property?

If a tenant refuses to vacate even after the notice period expires, you must apply for a possession order through the county court. Our Tenant Removal Solicitors handle this for you from start to finish.

Once the possession order is granted, tenants are legally required to leave by a set date. If they still refuse, our team can arrange for County Court Bailiffs or High Court Enforcement Officers to remove them lawfully.

With help from our Landlord Eviction Lawyers, you’ll never have to face the tenant directly—we manage every stage to protect you and your property.

Understanding Section 21 Notices – No-Fault Evictions

A Section 21 Notice is commonly used when a landlord wants possession at the end of a tenancy, even if the tenant hasn’t done anything wrong. It’s often referred to as a “no-fault eviction.”

Our Tenant Eviction Experts ensure all the legal requirements—such as gas safety certificates, deposit protection, and tenancy agreements—are in place before issuing the notice.

Once served, tenants have a minimum of two months’ notice to leave. If they don’t vacate by the deadline, our Property Possession Solicitors can apply to court for a standard or accelerated possession order, helping landlords regain their property quickly and lawfully.

What Is a Section 8 Notice and When Should It Be Used?

A Section 8 Notice is served when a tenant breaches the tenancy agreement. The most common reasons include:

  • Persistent rent arrears
  • Causing property damage
  • Engaging in anti-social behaviour
  • Breaching other tenancy terms

Our Tenant Eviction Solicitors prepare and serve Section 8 Notices that comply with the Housing Act 1988, clearly outlining the grounds for eviction.

After the notice expires (usually 14 days), if the tenant remains, our Tenant Possession Solicitors can submit a court claim for possession. Using this route ensures your eviction is legally sound and avoids costly delays.

How the Eviction Process Works

Evicting a tenant legally involves several key stages. Our step-by-step process ensures every action follows the correct legal framework while protecting your rights as a landlord.

  1. Free Consultation: You’ll start with a call or message to discuss your situation. Our solicitors will assess your case and recommend the best course of action.
  2. Notice Served: Depending on your circumstances, we’ll issue either a Section 8 or Section 21 Notice to your tenant.
  3. Court Application: If the tenant doesn’t leave within the notice period, we’ll apply for a possession order from the court.
  4. Court Hearing (if required): In some cases, a hearing may be needed. We’ll represent you and present the facts clearly to the judge.
  5. Bailiff Enforcement: If the tenant still refuses to vacate, we’ll request enforcement action to remove them legally and safely.

Throughout this process, you’ll receive updates and guidance at every stage. Our aim is to make tenant eviction simple, quick, and fully legal giving you peace of mind.

Common Reasons Landlords Need Eviction Solicitors

Every landlord faces challenges, and sometimes eviction becomes the only option. Here are the most common reasons landlords contact us:

  • Rent arrears: Tenants consistently missing payments or refusing to pay.
  • Property damage: Severe damage beyond normal wear and tear.
  • Anti-social behaviour: Complaints from neighbours or illegal activities.
  • End of tenancy agreement: Landlords wishing to regain possession after contract expiry.
  • Refusal to leave: Tenants overstaying after being asked to vacate.

Our Tenant Eviction Solicitors handle all these issues daily. We provide legal clarity, take swift action, and ensure everything complies with the Housing Act 1988 and other relevant regulations.

How Long Does the Tenant Eviction Process Take?

The average eviction timeline depends on the type of notice and the tenant’s response. On average:

  • Section 21 eviction: 6–8 weeks

  • Section 8 eviction (with rent arrears): 8–12 weeks

  • Court and bailiff process: add 2–4 weeks

Our experienced Tenant Eviction Specialists work efficiently to reduce delays by filing accurate documentation and responding quickly to court correspondence.

Landlords who choose our Legal Eviction Services for Landlords often find their cases resolved weeks faster than those attempting DIY evictions.

How Can I Remove a Tenant Without Going to Court?

In some cases, you can evict a tenant without court involvement—if the tenant leaves voluntarily after receiving a valid notice. A well-drafted Section 21 often encourages tenants to move out before further action is needed.

However, if a tenant refuses to leave, landlords must apply for a possession order to remain fully compliant with UK housing law.

Our Tenant Eviction Legal Advice helps landlords decide the best approach—minimising confrontation and ensuring the process stays legal at all times.

Why Legal Help Matters

Many landlords attempt DIY evictions, not realising that illegal eviction can result in serious fines or even criminal prosecution. Serving the wrong notice, missing deadlines, or using incorrect wording can delay your case by months.

By working with professional Tenant Eviction Solicitors, you ensure that:

  • All documents are legally valid and correctly issued.
  • Your case progresses smoothly through the courts.
  • You avoid penalties for unlawful eviction.
  • You save time, stress, and unnecessary costs.

Our team focuses on fast, compliant, and professional eviction solutions protecting your investment and reputation while ensuring full legal compliance.
