Good morning and happy new year!
We have a buy to let house with a tenant in there. We are in England. She is on a rolling contract. Very simply we want the house back as my husband and I have separated and the house needs to be sold. So, presumably we serve a section 21 to give her 8 weeks notice - in fact we don't want the house until April 1st (ish) so do we serve it now or wait until February. I would like to give her as much notice as possible. She is on benefits and no rent arrears - and we had no deposit. Or should we just have a chat with her now and say we intend to serve a s21? therefore she still gets some warning? I assume she will go to the council and they will tell her to sit tight for a court date. Thankyou.
