Notice under section 8 of the Housing Act 1988
This is the formal notice that you must serve on (i.e. give to) a tenant to tell them that you're seeking possession of your property on the grounds that there are current rent arrears. It also includes a schedule of rent arrears to accompany the notice.
It can only be used for properties in England let under an assured or assured shorthold tenancy agreement.
You must not send this notice if you're told that the tenant has been granted formal 'breathing space' from the rent arrears debt under the Debt respite scheme, without first getting a court's permission. Otherwise, you can use our document Covering letter for section 8 notice to send it.
This document is not suitable for seeking possession on any grounds other than rent arrears.
