Objectives

  • Distinguish between mandatory and discretionary grounds for possession, and apply the correct notice periods and procedures for serving a Section 8 notice in England, including how to evidence service.
  • Identify the steps required when a notice expires, and recognise the defences a tenant may raise, including the implications of counterclaims under Ground 8 rent arrears.
  • Navigate the court claims process with confidence, from completing the relevant forms and paying the correct fees, through to understanding what happens at a hearing and what to do once an order has been granted.

Background

This course will be kept regularly up to date with changes as and when they happen, giving landlords the confidence that if a tenancy reaches crisis point, it can be brought to an end.

This training course qualifies for 3 continuous professional development (CPD) points which can help towards or maintain your accreditation with the NRLA. If you are interested in becoming an accredited landlord with the NRLA, CPD points are necessary to achieve that status. 

NRLA Accreditation recognises landlords who have agreed to maintain professional standards in the management and maintenance of their rented property and deal fairly and professionally with their tenants. Accredited members demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of their responsibilities and obligations and strive to maintain, increase and improve their knowledge of the market through training and development. CPD points are awarded for all activities which improve those attributes and are a requisite of membership of the NRLA Accreditation Scheme.  

For more details visit the accreditation section on the website. 

Suitable for

  • New landlords who have yet to experience the ending of a tenancy
  • Landlords and agents who have not executed possession using a Section 8 notice
  • Landlords and agents who have completed one of our principle courses and wish to improve their knowledge in this area
