Housing and homes

As of the 29 August 2020 landlords must give at least 6 months' notice before court proceedings can begin, with the following exception:

If when the notice is served the tenant owes 6 months or more in rent, then 4 weeks' notice can be given before court proceedings can begin (the same applies for serious anti-social behaviour).

Further information and guidance can be found below.

• Private rented evictions
• Housing Association and council evictions

Cllr Andy Batsford has recorded a video explaining more about this.
