🏘️ Renting from a Private Landlord?

You probably have a tenancy called an Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST).
Visit the Shelter website to learn more about the eviction process and your rights

📄 If Your Landlord Wants You to Leave

They must follow the law.
They might give you:

• A Section 21 notice – usually used to end a tenancy
• A Section 8 notice – often used if you owe rent

These notices must follow rules to be valid.
It’s important to get advice quickly.

⏳ You Don’t Have to Leave Right Away

If your notice ends and you have nowhere else to go, you can stay in your home.
Your landlord must go to court to ask for a Possession Order before you can be made to leave.
