If you’re a commercial landlord or tenant and you need advice about forfeiture, call our specialist litigation lawyers on 0117 325 2929.

A section 21 notice is an legal notice used by landlords when they want to evict tenants at the end of a fixed term.
A section 8 notice is a legal notice that informs the tenant that, should they fail to remedy a breach within a set time period, the landlord can ask the court to evict them. The landlord may also seek compensation from the client.
An example of when a section 8 notice could be used is when a tenant is in rent arrears and the landlord wants the missed payments to be made by a certain date.
