A bad tenant who doesn’t pay their rent, look after your property correctly, or in any other way breaks the terms of their tenancy agreement, can significantly harm your commercial interests. Tenants who engage in anti-social behaviour can also damage your reputation with neighbours, making your life more difficult.

Please make sure to speak to a solicitor experienced in landlord and tenant law before attempting to evict a tenant. If you do not follow the correct procedure you could be accused of harassing or illegally evicting your tenants.

When you contact us to help remove a bad tenant from your property, there are a number of steps we can take to resolve the situation.
Our first action will normally be to issue a written notice to the tenant demanding that they vacate the property and that any rent arrears is paid within 14 days.
If the tenant does not leave, fails to repay their rent arrears, or does not come to some other acceptable agreement with 14 days, we will then immediately begin court proceedings on your behalf. We will obtain court orders for eviction and payment of arrears as appropriate.
If the tenant does not respond to the court order or court orders issues, we can then instruct bailiffs acting on a court order to forcibly remove the tenant if necessary. Bailiffs may also be empowered to seize tenants’ possessions up to the value of their rent arrears to recover the debt you are owed.
If a tenant has broken the terms of their tenancy agreement, you can give them between 2 weeks’ and 2 months’ notice, depending on which terms they have broken.
If the tenant has not broken the terms of their tenancy agreement, but you wish to take back possession of the property, e.g. to carry out renovations or to sell the property, you will normally need to give 2 months’ notice.

The eviction process involves legally removing a tenant from your property, typically due to breach of lease terms. This process includes serving eviction notices, obtaining a possession order from the court, and, if necessary, enforcing the order through bailiffs.
We provide expert guidance throughout the eviction process, ensuring compliance with legal requirements, preparing necessary documentation, and representing you in court if needed.
Legal requirements include serving the correct notice to the tenant, such as a Section 8 or Section 21 notice, following due process, and obtaining a possession order if the tenant refuses to vacate.
Costs can vary depending on the complexity and stage of the eviction process. We offer a transparent fee structure and will provide a detailed estimate during your initial consultation.
The timeline can vary, but a straightforward eviction process usually takes several months, depending on court availability and tenant compliance.
Please bring a copy of the lease agreement, any correspondence with the tenant, and records of payments or breaches of the lease terms.
