Understanding the Section 8 Notice
When to Use this Notice
Landlords in England and Wales can use this notice to terminate an assured shorthold tenancy agreement during its fixed term. Before taking legal action, the landlord must serve this notice. It often persuades tenants to leave without a court order. The Housing Act outlines specific grounds for serving a Section 8 notice, with the most common reasons being:
- Non-payment or late payment of rent
- Damage to the property or its contents
- Causing a disturbance to neighbours and residents
This notice complies with the Housing Act 1988 and 1996. While the prescribed government form is available for free, our pack provides the essential solicitor guidance, checklists, and supporting documents to ensure you serve the notice correctly and protect your legal standing.
