Help & Advice please on can i serve a Section 8 now?

Hello everyone ,

Im a new landlord stuck in abit of a rutt at the moment .Can anyone give me some advice & direction.

6 month AST agreement-dated 01st July 2012
Rent due 1st of every month .
Deposit paid of £530

Tenants have failed to pay rent consistantly on time from first month.
Now i have not recieved rent for 01/10/12 & 01/11/12 -total owing £1060.

My questions are..

1)Can i serve a section 8 under grounds 8,10 & 11 now or do i have to wait till the end of November before servicing it .Would the Judge count the rent deposit as a bond so it was only a month due hence throw case out?

2)Where do i get a section 8 ? can anyone direct me who to get it off or a website that i can pay for the service?

3)Once i serve a sec.8 & the tenants dont leave by the deadline ( 2 weeks )
then whats my next procedure ? Have i read somewhere that I can fast track a repossession?

4)If the tenants leave prior & the chances are dont give the forwarding address , am i in the same position as most landlords when it comes to chasing overdue rent or filing the tenants with a CCJ??


Any help & advice would be much appreciated .


Thanks
