# SECTION 8 NOTICE SEEKING POSSESSION
Date: 30 April 2031
Parties: Oakmere Estates Limited and Liam Foster
## 1. Purpose and parties
Oakmere Estates Limited, landlord of 17 Station View, serves Liam Foster with this notice seeking possession of the assured shorthold tenancy dated 1 August 2029. The tenancy rent is £1,100 monthly and the property is occupied as Liam's only home.
## 2. Facts, scope and terms
The notice relies on Housing Act 1988 section 8 Ground 8 and, in the alternative, Ground 10. The rent due on 30 April 2031 is £2,200; no payment has been credited for March or April. Oakmere identifies the tenancy, address, rent account and facts rather than asserting an unproved total.
## 3. Process and responsibilities
The notice states the prescribed grounds and the earliest date proceedings may begin after the applicable notice period. Oakmere will use the current prescribed form and give the notice in the manner permitted by the tenancy and law. Liam is told that only a court can make a possession order and that notice is not an eviction warrant.
## 4. Evidence, records and safeguards
Oakmere encloses the rent schedule and pre-action information, gives a payment contact and keeps records of service. It will consider a genuine benefit payment delay, vulnerability, repayment proposal or dispute about the balance, and will comply with any applicable pre-action protocol before issuing a claim.
## 5. Review, escalation and outcome
If arrears are not resolved, Oakmere may issue possession proceedings after the stated date and ask the court to assess the grounds and evidence. Liam may file a defence, ask for time, raise disrepair or procedural issues and seek advice. The court may adjourn, dismiss, make an order or give directions; no outcome is promised.
## 6. Reservations and practical protections
Liam must not ignore the notice, change locks or leave belongings without arranging matters. Oakmere will not use violence, harassment or unlawful eviction and will account for payments received. A later payment does not automatically cancel the notice or remove the court's discretion.
## 7. England and Wales law and completion
This notice is dated 30 April 2031 and is governed by England and Wales housing law. It is served by hand at the property and by first-class post to the address, each a permitted service method under the tenancy; Oakmere's authorised agent signs and records the date of service.
