The legal eviction notices for ASTs
Landlords must serve a proper written notice (a section 8 or 21 notice) to end a tenancy. This will have a date on which the notice ends.
If the tenant doesn’t leave by this date, the landlord can go to court for a possession order.
If it is granted, the possession order will have a date the tenant must leave by. If the tenant doesn’t leave, the landlord can make an application for a County Court Bailiff to regain possession of the property.
County Court Bailiffs only evict someone when County Court has granted the order. They must evict the tenant, not the landlord.
County Court Bailiffs must give the tenant at least 2 weeks’ notice before the eviction date.
