Esigning eviction notice

[Music] an eviction notice is every renters nightmare but don't panic I'm here to take you through my step-by-step guide to what to do anyone renting or thinking of renting should use the link below to access information and tips under renting on the move Akeem website there's a wealth of advice on all aspects of being a tenant including how to cut your risk of getting an eviction notice in the first place it's all there on the website so please do have a look and notice to vacate is when a landlord asks you to leave their property or informs you that your tenancy will not be continuing but your landlord must follow certain procedures or they could be guilty of harassment or illegally evicting you a procedure used is dictated by the type of tenancy agreement you have and here I'm talking usually about shorthold tenancies shorthold tenancies are the majority in the UK these are either fixed term or periodic now when your tenancy comes to an end if the landlord no longer wishes to rent to you they must issue you with a section 21 notice this gives you two months to quit the property before the landlord can start the proceedings to resume possession the landlord does not need to give you prior warning but they must have used a tenancy deposit scheme and they must give you notice in writing interestingly any spelling mistakes mean the notice is invalid so watch out for those if you rent on a fixed term but notice must respect the terms of the agreement and end no sooner than the fixed term stipulates if you rent on a periodic term this notice must also respect the period in which your tenancy rolls if you started your tenancy after October 2015 the landlord can't issue you a section 21 notice before four months of the tenancy has asked a section 21 does not allow the land or to forcefully evict you it's simply a step to get the ball rolling however if you've broken the terms of your tenancy agreement your landlord will issue you with a section-8 notice they must apply to the courts for a possession order if you don't leave by the specified date and they can apply for a warrant for possession if you still don't leave meaning the bailiffs will forcefully a picture now if you have previously complained about the landlord not fulfilling their legal responsibilities to maintain and repair the property and that complaint was upheld but they subsequently issue you with section 21 they could be the ones breaking the law these are called revenge evictions and they are a serious abuse of a landlord's power so if your landlord tries to pull this you could potentially have them prosecuted for harassment or for illegally evicting you if the notice to quit the property is legal and aboveboard you have between two weeks and two months to vacate and on the reason for the landlord serving you notice if they are accusing you of serious anti-social behavior you may have to vacate immediately for some people being evicted might mean being made illness so do please talk to organizations such as the Citizens Advice bureaux as soon as possible if you've had to deal with an eviction notice we're really interested to hear your story at move IQ so please post in the comments below I hope this has been useful I also hope you never have to deal with an eviction notice but please do like and subscribe to me like you and I look forward to seeing you next time you [Music]
