What is Eviction?
Eviction is the legal process whereby a landlord regains possession of their property from a tenant. In order for an eviction to take place, the landlord must first serve the tenant with a notice of eviction. This notice will depend on the type of tenancy agreement in place and the reason for eviction.
The court will then set a date for a hearing at which all the parties can attend and put forward a case. If a court grants a possession order, this will give the landlord permission to evict the tenant from the property. The court may also order that the tenant pays any outstanding rent or damages as well as the landlord’s legal costs.
When can I Evict my Tenant?
There are a number of reasons why a landlord may need to evict their tenant. The most common reasons are:
· Non-payment of rent – if your tenant falls behind on their rent payments, you can serve them with a notice seeking possession of the property.
· Breach of tenancy agreement – if your tenant breaches the terms of their tenancy agreement, you may be able to serve them with a notice seeking possession. Common breaches include causing damage to the property, subletting without permission or having pets when they are not allowed.
· End of fixed term tenancy – if you have a fixed term tenancy and you want to regain possession of your property at the end of the term, you will need to serve your tenant with a notice seeking possession.
· Anti-social behaviour – if your tenant is causing nuisance or annoyance to others, you may be able to serve them with an eviction notice on the grounds of anti-social behaviour.
