For anyone considering using a Section 8 form it is VERY IMPORTANT that new documents are used otherwise they may be thrown out and the process will have to begin again.
With new legislation coming into force on Monday 6th April 2015, all landlords using Section 8 forms must be sure they are using the correct form.
If you have saved or currently using any of the following forms PLEASE BE SURE TO DELETE THEM and use the new forms. Using old forms may see your case thrown out by a judge.
Please note, this update only concerns landlords in England.
