Section 8 Possession Notice Templates — Full Grounds Pack (10 Grounds)
Section 8 Possession Notice Templates — Full Grounds Pack (10 Grounds)
Section 21 is gone. These are your only route to possession.
The Renters' Rights Act 2025 abolished Section 21 (no-fault eviction). The only way to recover your property is through Section 8 using a valid ground. Wrong ground, wrong notice period, or an invalid notice = your court application gets thrown out.
This pack gives you every ground you need with a selection guide so you use the right one.
WHAT YOU GET (26 pages):
✓ Ground selection guide — plain-English scenarios: 'I want to sell', 'my tenant owes rent', 'antisocial behaviour'
✓ Quick-reference table — all 10 grounds with notice periods, mandatory/discretionary status, and restrictions
✓ Post-notice process guide — 7 steps from serving notice to bailiff enforcement
✓ 10 individual ground templates, each with guidance, requirements, and ready-to-complete notice
✓ Covering letter and proof of service record
GROUNDS INCLUDED:
✓ Ground 1 — Landlord occupation (4 months)
✓ Ground 1A — Landlord sale (4 months) — NEW under RRA 2025
✓ Ground 2 — Mortgage default (2 months)
