Advice need to ask tenants to leave so I can move back in

[Hmmmmmmmmmm10]

I think the sad fact is that me and my partner have hit the end of the road. We tried counselling a year ago and he's not changed at all. Maybe I haven't in his eyes but I know I have tried to think of my role in all of this and tried to communicate this. We want different things for the future, I want a bigger family and some commitment and he says no, in fact he seems to actively resist making any additional forms of commitment. I live in his house with our son. I have my flat and it's rented out with contract due to run till April next year. Anyone got any experience of asking tenants to leave early? Also anyone got any advice for how I can do this as smoothly as possible for my little boy. Sadly I learned too much about him after our son was born. Thanks.

Is there a break clause in the contract, and if so when is it? If not you cannot oblige them to move out, you can ask but if it doesn't work for them they'd be entitled to say no. It may be helpful (and in the circumstances, fair) to offer them help with moving expenses. If there is a break clause you can give two months notice at the relevant time. Hopefully they'll go after this, if not you'd have to get a court order to evict them.

I had to do this when I was living with someone and still single. Fortunately i was only three months off the end of the contract and they were happy to move on as soon as they cd find something.

Talk to them - it might suit them.

I think it is unfair to do anything to pressure them into moving out ahead of time - it's not their fault your relationship has ended.

Thanks. They are very reasonable people so fingers crossed. If not I would have to look to get a short term rental for a while.

You need to talk to your solicitor, but I think if it was previously your home and you want to move back in the. It is groubds to issue a section 21 notice

You don't need grounds to issue a s 21, and irrespective it would not give grounds to end the contract early.

Fair enough bombardier.

It was quoted to me when I had to leave my flat, but it coincided with the break clause anyway.

You do have grounds to get the place back early if it was your home, but you habe to have informed the tenants that that was a possibility when you moved out.

You can ask if they're happy to move out early but they don't have to. At the very least you should offer to pay moving costs. You might have to accept you'll need to rent sonething sort term if they don't want to move on.

Ask them, but it's not actually grounds to make them move.
