Basic Level membership is the cheaper level of membership on Landlord Law.  You can find out more about the differences between Basic and Business Level memberships here.

However, we still have an awful lot of help and guidance for our Basic Level members.

Most landlords want to evict tenants because they are not paying rent.  To help with this we have a special section of the site which looks specifically how you deal with this issue - from the day after the first default on payment.

So the plan looks at all the things you need to do right at the start (if you act quickly you may be able to resolve the problem without all the bother of having to go to court), and then again once the second months payment falls due.

That is when you can serve your ground 8 notice and, if the tenant is in receipt of benefit, contact the benefit office and ask for it to be paid direct to you (we have a letter for this).

The plan then considers what your options are if you need to go for possession proceedings.

The plan is a great and very popular guide and includes draft letters, forms and checklists.  You can read more about it here.

I have already discussed the free Which Possession Proceedings guide in the article on our free services. We also have two other trails though, which will be useful:

Before you can issue your possession proceedings, you need to have served the correct possession notice and the notice period must have expired.

We have all the relevant possession notices on Landlord Law which you will find via the Possession Notices page.

You will also find a lot of help and guidance in the Landlord Law Eviction FAQ.

All members get access to our members only forum where you can ask me questions (I try to answer within 24 hours if I can).

Members also enjoy reading all the questions asked by other members.  It is a very valuable part of the Landlord Law service.

If you need to issue proceedings and want our step by step eviction guide you will need to join as a Business Level member.
