hi

I have a HB tenant who is in arrears and on whom I have served a section 21 notice. The Council are now paying me direct for HB although the tenant has stopped paying me her top up so that the arrears are accruing.

What are my rights regarding evicting this tenant? Is there anything further that I can do? Do I serve a further section 8 notice?

She has apparently applied to the CAB for an interest free loan to clear her arrears and has applied to the council for a discretionary housing payment.
