If you have a licensor and a licensee agreement, then you cannot evict using a section 21 notice, those are only useful for short hold tenants. But, don’t think that just because you both signed a piece of paper that this is a licensor and a licensee agreement, it might not be, and you might be able to get away with the eviction. If you aren’t sure what to do and the tenant won’t leave then you can ask someone who specializes in this like this.
Key Takeaways:
- You can utilize a section 21 notice to evict shorthold tenants only, but not for licenses.
- As a landlord, you are not allowed to make a license by having the occupiers sign a document that says “license agreement” at the top.
- Be aware that if you attempt to issue a sham license, you are subject to legal prosecution.
“However, your tenants probably have an assured short hold tenancy as this is the type of letting which will normally be created when someone rents a property.”
