How to Serve a Section 21 or Section 8 Notice

---

PB Process Servers UK delivers Section 21 Notices nationwide. We offer a fixed fee service and supply evidence detailing the manner and timing of the notice delivery. A Process Server is an invaluable asset for landlords to guarantee the proper serving of a Notice.

A Section 21 Notice is a legal document that landlords use to notify tenants of their intention to reclaim possession of the rented property, typically by a specified date and with two months' notice. Landlords commonly employ this notice when there is no particular cause for eviction, like rent arrears or breaches of the tenancy agreement. 

A Section 21 Notice may be served in writing, personally or by recorded post. The notice must be served at least two months before the date the landlord wants the tenant to vacate the property. 

Proving that the tenant has received the notice is crucial. Any disagreement over the delivery could result in the tenant not vacating the property when required. To guarantee correct service to the appropriate address, employing a Process Server to deliver your Section 21 Notice is advisable. 

In addition to delivering the Section 21 notice, your Process Server will supply a Court-compliant Statement of Service and may offer photographic proof of the visit. Should the tenant contest receipt of the notice, the provided statement can serve as evidence of service.

A Section 8 Notice is an eviction notice used by landlords in the United Kingdom beginning the process to remove tenants from a property. It is a legal document that must be issued to the tenant to enable the landlord to reclaim the property. The notice must comply with the Housing Act 1988, stipulating specific information, such as the reasons for eviction and the date by which the property must be vacated.

Proving that the tenant has received the notice is crucial. A Process Server can assist you with service of the Section 8 Notice, ensuring delivery of the notice to the correct address helping to mitigate any disagreement over the delivery which could result in the tenant not vacating the property when required. 

To guarantee correct service to the appropriate address, employing a Process Server to deliver your Section 8 Notice is advisable. The Process Server will provide a Statement of Service compliant with court requirements, and may also offer photographic evidence of the visit. In the event that the tenant disputes the receipt of the notice, the statement provided will stand as proof of service.
