My tenant who has been living in my flat for 13 yrs was arrested by the police last Wednesday for having explosive materials in the flat and also found in the dustbin, he is in court today. I would like advice on how soon can I evict him, do I have to use a section 21 notice and how much notice do I have to give or can I get him to leave sooner because of the danger to property and neighbours.
JA: Where are you? It matters because laws vary by location.
Customer: Warren hill, Nottingham
JA: What steps have you taken so far?
Customer: None other than try to find out from the police what I can do, very stressed by this
JA: Is there anything else the Lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured that they'll be able to help you.
Customer: not really although I let him move in with no deposit and he has been on a low rent for 13 yrs, because I let him have the flat because a friend said he had nowhere to live, since been told he was thrown out of his previous rental.

Thankyou

Thanks for your patience and enquiry. I do understand your concern and it really is not without merit. However you do need to follow the eviction process so as not to open you up to being sued for breach of the tenancy agreement in the future.

You must therefore serve a section 21 notice given the tenant a minimum of 2 months to leave. You cannot simply move in to the property unfortunately.
