You have to give written notice and get a court order if you want to evict your tenants. If you wish to regain possession of your property it is recommended that you seek legal advice from a solicitor.

If the letting began on or after 15 January 1989, the leaflet called "Assured and Assured Shorthold tenancies - A Guide for Landlords" may be of assistance.

However, if you are sharing or are going to share part of your home, you should read the separate leaf let called "letting rooms in your home - A Guide for Resident Landlords". There is also a scheme that may be of interest called the " Rent A Room Scheme" which is an optional scheme that lets you receive a certain amount of tax-free 'Gross' income (receipts before expenses) from renting furnished accommodation in your only or main home.
