Wala's answer

Match the right ground to what's happening

1Damage or neglect: Ground 13 (Ground 15 for furniture) — discretionary, 2 weeks' notice.

2Nuisance or antisocial behaviour: Ground 14 — you can apply to court straight away after the notice. Ground 7A (mandatory) if there's a conviction or a breached order.

3Evidence from day one: dated photos, messages, neighbour statements, police or council reference numbers.

⚠ Don't change the locks or remove their things — only a court order and bailiffs can remove a tenant.
