Handling evictions in student housing properties requires careful attention to legal processes and tenant rights. In the UK, one common method is issuing a Section 21 notice, which allows landlords to regain possession of the property without providing a reason, provided the tenancy agreement has ended or is in a periodic phase. To serve a valid Section 21 notice, landlords must ensure all legal requirements are met, such as protecting the tenant’s deposit in a government-approved scheme and providing necessary documents like the Energy Performance Certificate and Gas Safety Certificate. It’s crucial to follow the correct procedures and timelines to avoid disputes or delays. Always communicate clearly and professionally with tenants to maintain a respectful relationship throughout the process.
