Testimonials
We wanted to thank you both for all your help and support in the removal of our tenants A very stressful and expensive process which has definitely put us off ever renting out properties in the future! We have spent a week cleaning the house which was filthy & clearing the garden ready for viewings this weekend as we lost our buyer and are now both exhausted. But relieved that it’s all over. We have now paid our final Invoice to Phoenix and the Solicitor, and checking that we don’t owe you any more money? we can then finally close the book on this nightmare chapter of our lives. Thank you both again, I will highly recommend your Company if I hear of anyone else struggling to evict tenants

I have unfortunately had to seek the services of Landlords Lawyer on several occasions and i have always found the service excellent – i would highly recommend them
We came to Landlords Lawyer in 2017 for their expert services on how to evict a tenant. Our case was rather complicated but we felt Landlords Lawyers had a wealth of experience in order to deal with the eviction notice in an efficient way. Further to this, we had another a firm deal with the possession order when the tenant did not vacate to save on costs. However, unfortunately, we do not believe this was dealt with in a proper way and therefore we came back to Landlords Lawyer to deal with the hearing. Landlords Lawyers were very good with their advice, and with their service. The advocate representing us at the hearing was prepared to a top standard and we won the court case on all grounds. The tenant was given 14 days to vacate (The minimal time) and he was asked to pay all our legal fees and court costs. This was an outstanding victory. Further to this, Landlords Lawyer dealt with the bailiff warrant which was approved in a timely manner too. As Landlords Lawyer dealt with us from start to finish pretty much, we would highly recommend them. Further to this, there was a refund owing to us at the end, for part of a service that was not required and the refund was provided back to us within 3 days. Now this is remarkable service! We pray we never need their services again to evict a tenant but if we do, there is no other place we will go. 5 star company. Hinal Karia.I have used their service to evict few of my tenants and the service I received was excellent every time. The lawyers and the secretaries are always cordial and willing to help.

I must admit these guys are great! Got my case done within a week, the Customer service was point on, great team, so polite and always wanted to help out, l would definitely recommended them. And a great picture of Steve Conway on the web page! Check it out! Thank you guys!
I had to evict a rogue tenant who combined antisocial behaviour with rents arrears.
I first contacted a very big specialist Firm of Lawyers (that will remain nameless)and my experience was dreadful: they never returned phone calls, very high fees etc. I withdrew my business from them and contacted Landlords lawyer to follow up on the case.
I didn’t regret it: Landlords lawyer is a smaller Firm with an excellent approach to customers service: they listened, followed up and were reasonable with their fees. Also they advised me correctly on the approach to take with the Tribunal. My main contact there was Elliott, assisted by Joel, paralegal guy. Both very professional and helpful.
I am very happy to recommend Landlords Lawyer to fellow Landlords, unfortunate enough (like myself) to have to evict a tenant through the legal route!
We have dealt with Landlords Lawyers on multiple occasions and we have found the owner Steven Conway, to be very knowledgeable and he has always provided a pragmatic, and thoughtful solutions to dealing with evictions. We highly recommend and the prices also seem fair too.
Prompt and effective service. First time I have had to evict a tenant in 20 years. These guys made the process straight forward with minimum fuss. Recommended.
As a manager of a letting company we had a complicated issue with one of our tenants. Landlords Lawyers were fantastic at dealing with this issue on our behalf. They were professional, swift acting, personable and most importantly got the results we wanted. I cannot recommend Landlords Lawyers enough as everyone on the team was fantastic – especially Steven Conway. I would not hesitate to consider using them again.

Have been thoroughly impressed by the professional and friendly service I have received from Elliott Kaye and also from Steven Conway. Easy to reach by phone or email and Elliott in particular has made a stressful process a lot easier. I would definitely recommend them although I hope personally never to have to do so again!
Steven was personable thorough and direct. He helped resolve a really challenging issue with diplomacy, kindness and creative thinking. I would very much recommend his services
We had a particularly unpleasant tenant who was stealing from his fellow tenants and racially abusing them. The Police said they could do nothing about it because the offences took place in a domestic environment. We called Landlords Lawyers and Elliot Kaye contacted us. He patiently explained what our options were and put together an action plan to evict the tenant quickly in view of the seriousness of the offences. Elliot was very generous with his time, was extremely patient with us and very honest and straightforward with regards the options available to us. He prepared a comprehensive Section 8 document which was served and the tenant left one month later. Many thanks again

Serving notices
If the tenancy began after 1st October 2015, you must have served a valid Gas Safety Certificate and Energy Performance Certificate on the Tenant before serving a Section 21 Notice.
If You rented to a company then they will not have an Assured Short hold Tenancy and we will need to serve a Notice to Quit. This is a 28 day notice and can also be used for any type of breach of contract.
If the tenant has stopped paying the rent or has breached the contract, then a Section 8 Notice can be used, you need to be aware that there will always be a hearing.
What happens after the notice
In order to prove your case you will require evidence such as rent statements. (if the tenant is in rent arrears), witness statement if the tenant is subletting and so forth.
Hearings are usually less than 10 mins long because in most cases they are undefended, should they become defended they are likely to be adjourned and relisted for a longer time with directions on how the case is to be conducted. Mostly when these hearings become defended it is because the tenant is claiming disrepair.
Once you obtain a possession order the tenant is most likely to only be given 14 days to vacate the property.
If the Tenant won’t leaves
You cannot guarantee that the tenant will leave on the possession date.
Do not just turn up at the property and change the locks, if you do you could be arrested under the Prevention of Eviction Act 1977. Tenant still has rights to the property
You must appoint a bailiff.
County Court bailiff can take 4-10 weeks to attend and sometimes the day before the eviction the Tenant may try and make an application to court for more time.
You may wish to appoint the High Court Enforcement officers to do the eviction. This can only be done if the County Court has agreed that the matter can be transferred up to the High Court.
