Our panel of carefully selected Specialist Solicitors are always here to support and assist when needed.

What is a Section 8 Notice?

A Section 8 Notice serves as a notification that the landlord is pursuing possession of their property, either for a change in use or due to a violation of the tenancy agreement.

While the notice requests the tenant to vacate the property, an immediate departure is not required, as there will be a specified notice period.

Things to consider as listed below:

  • A Section 8 notice, also known as a Section 8 possession notice, must be accurately completed and served on tenants of a rental property
  • This notice allows landlords to seek possession of the rental property from the tenant during the Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST) term
  • The Section 8 notice indicates that the tenant has violated conditions outlined in the tenancy agreement, with various breaches being possible
  • Common breaches include non-payment or late payment of rent, damage to the property, unsociable conduct, and subletting
  • Successful service of the Section 8 notice provides grounds for obtaining a possession order
