Dates are the whole case
Possession claims fail on dates far more often than on merits. Served too early, issued too early, a notice that ran out while you were waiting. When the notice is emailed from the Section 8 builder, the case is opened with the day of service, the earliest court date and the date to apply by, 12 months from service, worked out the same way the builder shows them. Served on paper? Use Record service by hand or post in the builder, with the date and the way, and the same dates are worked out from that day.
What the case records
The grounds, how and when the notice was served, the tenant’s name as the notice gave it (kept after they leave), and each stage after: claim, hearing, order, warrant and eviction, which you add as they happen. The emailed notice itself, with the time it was sent, is in your activity log, and the rent ledger stays on the Rent page.
The court claim forms
On a case for a Section 8 notice, Court claim forms gives your answers for Forms N5 and N119, filled in from your notice, rent ledger and tenancy, for you to copy into the court’s forms.
When it is over
Mark the case resolved. If the tenant is still on record as living there, the case offers End the tenancy, so the rent stops.
If it goes to a solicitor
Your activity log can be exported as a dated PDF or CSV, which shows what was served and when, alongside the case dates on this page.
Being honest about the limit
LetCompliance prepares the paperwork and keeps the record. It does not conduct litigation, and it does not tell you what a judge will decide.
