Guidance on Section 8 Notices

This Guidance on Section 8 Notices looks at the ways a landlord in England can obtain possession of property from an assured or assured shorthold tenant.

This Guidance applies to England only. The Renting Homes Wales group contains information on the new procedures to evict contract-holders from a private rented dwelling in Wales. 

The Guidance refers to the relevant provisions in the Housing Act 1988 and points landlords of properties in England towards the appropriate letters and forms to use. 

See also the Guidance on Section 21 Notices for the process for “no fault” notices.
