Section 8 possession grounds for UK landlords

Section 8 of the Housing Act 1988 lets landlords seek possession on specific grounds — most commonly rent arrears or anti-social behaviour. Unlike Section 21, Section 8 requires you to prove the ground in court, but it can be served at any time during a tenancy (including the fixed term) and does not depend on the deposit / EPC / GSC prerequisites that catch out Section 21 notices.

The Free plan covers unlimited properties, tenants and documents. Paid tiers add rent collection, meter auto-import, AI voice agents and Gas Safety auto-renewal dispatch. See pricing below.
