Property Law
Ask an Property Solicitor. Get an Answer ASAP.
Good evening, my name is ***** ***** I am a Solicitor. Thank you for your question.
I note you are making reference to a 'noise problem'
Are you having a dispute with your neighbour? kind regards
Please confirm if you have reported your noise complaint to the Council?
Do you live in a self-contained flat?
So you have your own private bedroom? Kind regards
Ok based on the information provided, you are a tenant and it is likely an assured shorthold tenancy. Your landlord can only evict you if they serve a Section 8 or 21 Notice. Section 21 is a no-fault eviction and section 8 can be served for specific reasons such as arrears or a breach of tenancy. If you don't vacate after a valid notice expires your landlord could take you to Court to request an order for possession.
Please note that this is not a chat box. From time to time I will be engaged with other customers or offline. Please assured I will respond as soon as possible and you will receive an email when I respond.
At least 2 months notice must be given in the Section 21 notice.
Further information regarding section 21 and 8 notices can be found in the following link - https://www.gov.uk/evicting-tenants/section-21-and-section-8-notices
It is more likely than not as you have a private room in which you have exclusive possession. It does complicate matters when there is no written or physical tenancy agreement but there is obviously a verbal agreement in place.
Yes, for section 8 a specific reason is required.
However, remember that section 21 is a no-fault eviction. But your landlord would have a serve a valid notice and meet the requirements in the link I have sent.
No worries I am happy to assist.
