Document background
The 10 Day Eviction Notice For Non Payment Of Rent is a crucial document in the English and Welsh residential letting sector, utilized when tenants have defaulted on their rent obligations. While traditionally referenced as a 10-day notice, the actual notice period must comply with current statutory requirements, which may be longer. The notice must include specific details such as the rental property address, amount of arrears, and grounds for possession under Section 8 of the Housing Act 1988. It serves as the initial formal step in possession proceedings and must be properly served to ensure legal validity. The document is particularly relevant in cases where rent arrears exceed two months and landlords seek to regain possession of their property through legal channels.
