What can I do if my tenant ignores a section 21?

Posted on April 13, 2023

Long term tenants won’t vacate property which I have to sell due to mortgage rate increases. I’ve served a ‘notice to quit’ section 21 but tenant still haven’t moved out and notice date has passed. They are on housing benefit and I may lose my buyer if they don’t get something soon. What should I do?

Public Answer

Thank you for your enquiry.

You may be able to issue possession proceedings depending on the validity and expiry date of the Section 21 Notice. We would need to assess the merits and have sight of your documentation and statements to determine which course of action to take. For more information, please call 02039599123 or click here

Nollienne Alparaque gave me some short, sharp advice on a difficult property matter which was pragmatic and commercial and really helpful. Sheh was a sympathetic ear too. I was impressed. Case Workers: Nollienne Alparaque
Nollienne and Tia, I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for the exceptional legal support you provided during a highly challenging period of my life. Your professionalism, expertise, and empathetic approach truly made a significant difference, and I am compelled to share my experience with others who may seek your guidance. This was the first time I had to consult legal advice due to a dispute with a difficult landlord, the situation was exacerbated by the fact that it coincided with a time of profound personal loss and bereavement. Your unwavering dedication to my case, combined with your genuine empathy and understanding of my circumstances, provided me with the comfort and assurance I needed during an emotionally tumultuous time. Nollienne, your wealth of legal knowledge and strategic insights were instrumental in navigating the complexities of the dispute. Your ability to communicate legal intricacies in a clear and understandable manner ensured that I was well-informed and empowered throughout the process. Your commitment to achieving the best possible outcome was evident in every step we took. Tia, your compassionate and caring demeanour helped alleviate the stress and anxiety that often accompanies legal matters. Your genuine concern for my well-being was truly heartwarming and provided me with the reassurance that my family and I were in capable hands. Your ability to balance professionalism with personal care is a rare and invaluable trait that I deeply appreciate. Together, both of you make an incredible team, and your combined efforts exceeded my expectations in every way.

Highly recommend OTS Solicitors if you have an issue regarding your tenancy. Nollienne Alparaque was incredibly helpful at finding a solution to the problem I had with my landlord/tenancy. Obviously, I hope I won't have to contact her again but if I do, I'll ask for Nollienne for sure! Case Workers: Nollienne Alparaque
I had a legal dispute with my Landlord regarding disrepair issues which was concluded successfully. Nollienne was very helpful and effective in putting my case forward. Couldn’t have asked for a better service! Tia was also very helpful at the start of the claim. Thank you OTS! Case Workers: Nollienne Alparaque
