Landlords often complain about unreliable tenants. Tenants who say that they are going to leave on Monday but who are still there three weeks later. Or tenants who fail to move out after having been served a section 21 notice. This can cause enormous problems particularly if there are tenants who are signed up and waiting to move in.

Good advice from Tessa Shepperson.
While working in Local Government I have had to give this advice to many landlords. On occasions I have had to give the advice after landlords have already changed the locks.
Luckily, the majority of landlords let the tenant back in without the need for legal action.
However, last year while working at a West Midlands Council I successfully prosecuted a landlord who moved a tenants belongings into storage and changed the locks while the tenant was in hospital.
The landlords did this in response to rent arrears.
