What is a Notice of Intent?
A Notice of Intent, also known as a notice of intended proceedings, is a critical first step for landlords addressing tenant issues such as rent arrears or breaches of the rental contract. This notice serves as a formal communication to tenants, giving them an opportunity to resolve the problem before legal action is initiated.
How the Service Works
Step 1: Initial Consultation
We start by thoroughly understanding your specific situation and the issues at hand. Our team gathers all relevant information to tailor the notice to your needs.
Step 2: Drafting the Notice
Our experts draft a detailed notice that clearly outlines the tenant's obligations, the nature of the issues, and the necessary actions required to resolve them.
Step 3: Serving the Notice
The notice is served to the tenant via First Class post, ensuring prompt and official delivery. The tenant is given a 14-day period to address any rent arrears or breaches of the rental contract.
Step 4: Support and Guidance
During this time, our team remains available to provide you with any support or guidance you might need, ensuring you are well-informed and confident in the process.
Step 5: Initiating Legal Proceedings
If the tenant fails to comply within the given timeframe, we prepare to initiate legal proceedings. This involves meticulously documenting all actions taken and ensuring that every step is legally sound. Our comprehensive approach not only protects your interests but also facilitates a smooth transition to the legal process if necessary.

FAQs
The notice can address various issues including rent arrears, unauthorised alterations, or other breaches of the rental contract.
A Notice of Intent primarily serves as a pre-legal communication to resolve issues like rent arrears or breaches of contract, giving tenants a 14-day period to address the problem. In contrast, a Section 8 notice is used to seek possession based on specific grounds such as rent arrears or anti-social behaviour. A Section 21 notice is a no-fault eviction notice used to regain possession at the end of a tenancy, regardless of any tenant fault.
If the tenant does not respond or resolve the issue within the 14-day period, we will proceed with legal actions, ensuring all steps are documented and legally sound.
The initial notice period is 14 days. If the tenant fails to comply, we quickly move to the next legal steps, minimizing any delays.
If the tenant does not respond within 14 days, our service will assist you in securing the property, which may include changing locks and documenting the state of the property to protect against future disputes.
The notice is served via First Class post, ensuring prompt and official delivery, which is legally binding.
If the tenant partially addresses the issue, we will provide advice on the best course of action, whether to continue with legal proceedings or explore other resolutions.
Failing to follow the correct procedure can result in accusations of illegal eviction, hefty fines, and legal disputes, potentially costing more time and money than properly managing the process.
