Landlord Legal Advice - How to Evict a Tenant

If you are a landlord, do you know how to evict a tenant?

Of course, eviction is a matter of last resort and raising legal proceedings is something landlords wish to avoid. It is however important to understand the process should such proceedings be required.

It is not enough to simply serve eviction notices on a tenant to recover possession of a property. If a tenant does not vacate voluntarily at the end of the required notice period, before a landlord can recover possession (ie. evict) they must obtain an Eviction Order from the First-tier Tribunal for Scotland (Housing and Property Chamber)

Our free legal guide looks at the steps which must be followed when raising an action on your behalf.

Our guide covers:

• Stage One – the application to the First-tier Tribunal for Scotland (Housing and Property Chamber)
• Stage Two – the Case Management Discussion
• Stage Three – the Hearing
• Stage Four – the Eviction

Our experienced solicitors and paralegals represent landlords and letting agents throughout Scotland in the Tribunal on a daily basis and are recognised as experts in their field. We are here to make this process as pain-free as possible for landlords and letting agents and can help every step of the way.

We recognise that no eviction is straightforward and prior to taking action we will discuss costs and prospects of success to ensure that you are fully informed. We are also pleased to offer fixed fees in certain circumstances.
