Hi, any advice would be very much appreciated.
We have a tenant that is currently in a periodic agreement, the original agreement ended three years ago. We were led to believe by the letting agent, that having a council tenant was fail safe (yes I know we have been completely niave) but having just found out that this is absolute crap, we now want to evict our tenant. She has trashed the property and is two months in arrears with the rent, which isn't the first time she has been in arrears.
We also now know that the deposit which the council guaranteed at the start of the original agreement, is not guaranteed in a periodic tenancy after two years.
Having never evicted someone before, what is the quickest way to do this, what is the process (forms, letters, etc) and how long does the process take.
Thank you in advance
