what a landlord has to bear in mind is
that all tenants have rights of
occupation and that you can't simply
change the locks and get them to leave
you have to serve a correct notice they have to issue court proceedings they then
have to obtain a court order and
even after the court order has been
obtained unless they leave the property
then voluntarily you can only
evict them by using a court bailiffs the
vast majority of private tenancies are
assured shorthold tenancies and those
can be brought to an end either by
service for Section 21 notice or by
service of a notice under Section 8 of
the Housing Act 1988 the Section 21
notice can be served when the tenancy
term has come to an end or the initial
six months if it's a rolling tendency
for that you've got to prove no grounds
you just got to say you want
the property back and provide you if you
follow all the correct procedures
proceedings can be issued in the court
if there's been a breach of tenancy such
as non-payment of rent or nuisance you
can serve notice under Section 8 of
the Housing Act the benefit of a Section
8 notice however is that you can serve
it during the currency of an
assured shorthold tenancy once notice has been
served
you then have to prove your case in the
court which means there will be a
hearing
