Hello there!
With the introduction of the Renters’ Rights Act (RRA), a great deal has changed (that’s an understatement of the century!) regarding when and how landlords in England are permitted to end tenancies and evict tenants.
Rightly or wrongly, there has been a shift in power, resulting in tenants gaining greater security of tenure while landlords have lost some of theirs.
This section of my blog covers two distinct scenarios relating to the termination of a tenancy:
- Landlords experiencing problems with tenant(s), and how to proceed with eviction.
- The repossession and eviction rights landlords still have where there has been no breach of the tenancy terms (in other words, a “no-fault” eviction). Fair warning, the options have become extremely limited.
Ultimately, both scenarios amount to wanting to terminate a tenancy, and if that is the case, you are in the right place. Maybe.
Evicting Tenants: What It’s Really Like (Personal Experience)
If you are currently in the trenches dealing with a difficult tenant, then I probably do not need to tell you that what you are going through is one of the worst aspects of being a landlord. There is no sugar-coating that shit.
The process can be painfully frustrating and financially draining, and it is often a stark reminder of how unforgiving the legal system can feel. That’s just the truth.
I have been through the whole “nightmare tenant” experience and eviction process myself, and believe me, if you are feeling anxious, fearful, or overwhelmed, those feelings are completely normal.
Unfortunately, dealing with difficult tenants and evictions is part of the business, and most landlords will eventually come across a bad tenant at some point. It is simply the nature of the BTL beast.
However, I can tell you this: the situation is temporary. Once it is resolved, not only will you feel an enormous sense of relief, but you will also come out of the experience as a more knowledgeable and resilient landlord.
My hope is that I can help you get through it the right way!
My objective is to provide you with the information you need to help resolve your tenant-related problems as quickly and effectively as possible.
The unfortunate reality is that many cowboy landlords take matters into their own hands and stray from the proper legal procedures. More often than not, this results in further delays, additional expense, and unnecessary complications. That is why it is critically important to handle these situations correctly and within the law.
Many landlords feel comfortable enough to manage the eviction process themselves, and there’s plenty of resources and information (further down this page) to help you pursue your path, and ultimately seek justice.
However, if you’re feeling confused and vulnerable, and would prefer professional support, I would highly recommend seeking the advice of tenant eviction professionals. They deal with problematic tenants on a daily basis, so they know the best and quickest way to resolve the problems legally – it’s often the cheapest solution, too.
