If there is no tenancy agreement, a tenant cannot be given a section 21 notice for eviction. Instead, a landlord must use a section 8 notice (with a ground for eviction). To be able to evict a tenant in the absence of a written tenancy agreement, a landlord will need to apply to the courts for a possession order.

You cannot use the accelerated procedure, and you will need to file a witness statement.

Under section 8, you don't need to serve a gas certificate.
Ask Your Own Law Question
You can state in your section 8 proceedings he damaged the property. It could be a ground for education under Section 8 schedule 2:ground 13 - damage to propertyground 15 - damage to furniture

Gabriel I may take this offer in a day or 2 when I put some questions together ...but I want him out of the house I was looking for the strongest reason I need to sell the property as it is a investment as I say I get very little pension and I am struggling and I only have a verbal agreement.. I appreciate your busy.
I am here to help. The eviction will be for several reasons. The reality is that you are probably going to need a court order which is obtained at a court hearing.This is because there is no tenancy agreement. You
cannot use section 21.You can give reasonable notice, but if he refuses to leave, you will have to issue court proceedings and use the relevant grounds for eviction in section 8.
