Hi all,

Even though the following is mentioned on the main landlord blog, I thought i'd mention it in here too, where it's probably extremely relevant to many of you...

LandlordforLegal.co.uk (one of UK's leading landlord eviction/legal services) are currently offering Property Investment Project's "friends and followers" exclusive access to free legal advice (and special discounted rates for any of their eviction services (if required)).

LforL will give you free advice, no obligations! You can take the advice and run for the mountains. However, if you proceed to use any of their tenant eviction services, which you may or may not wish to use, including serving possession/eviction notices, taking your tenant to court, and/or instructing the bailiffs- that's where they'll make their cheese (but you'll also get special discounted rates there)!

WHAT YOU GET ACCESS TO FOR FREE FROM LEGALFORLANDLORDS.CO.UK...


  • PIP landlords can access some of our key services FREE of CHARGE or at special discounted rates.
  • FREE legal advice service.

Hi, I (Landlord) need tenants removed or evicted that someonelse(subletter) put into the property without my consent. There is no contract between me and tenants or the subletter. Does anyone know of a good lawyer to evict the tenants please?

Ian Mc

I wish to evict a tenant.
I took what I intended to be 6 weeks rent in advance, but put it in the "deposit" paragraph of the tenancy agreement. It was my mistake and I have to accept that. It is unlikely the court would regard it unfavourably to the tenant. I tried to return the money but the tenant refused to accept it. The s21 Notice is, therefore, invalid. The money was never paid into a Deposit Scheme.
I would still like to evict the tenant. She is a nuisance tenant - but I would prefer not to have to go down that route.
I realise that I was wrong in describing the advance rent as a deposit.
How best do I now proceed with serving Notice on her to quit?

Unless you return the money, you will not be able to use a section 21 notice, full stop.
So you need to find actual grounds for a section 8 notice, or persuade the tenant to want to leave, which would normally require a very significant financial incentive.

I wonder if you could help. My tenant had not increased the rent for the past 5 years despite asking her by my agent in writing to increase the rent according to the market value. We have decided at the end to issue section 21 for eviction, but we noticed that the protected deposit has not been deposited within a month of issuing tenancy agreement, but deposited later. Our solicitor advised us to paid the deposit in full to the tenant before take the tenant to the court (according to the legality of section 21). We have sent a cheque to the tenant towards that deposit but she refused to cash it. Then we try to meet the tenant (face to face ) to give her the deposit by cash, but again refused to take it.
My solicitor said if we proceed with section 21 there will be a risk for the losing court  eviction because of the deposit was not protected within one month of issuing the tenancy agreement !!
So, is there any solution to this problem? I have a record (photographed cheque) of the deposit cheque sent by registered letter which has not been cashed by the tenant and also a witness for not accepting by the tenant a cash towards the deposit!
I would like to have your help and a legal advice for how to evict this tenant without risking to lose my case??
