Answer 1

For IOS 7 if you are allocing a tableview in a view controller you may look into

self.edgesForExtendedLayout = UIRectEdgeNone;

your problem seemed similar to mine

Update:

Swift in iOS 9.x:

self.edgesForExtendedLayout = UIRectEdge.None

Swift 3 :

self.edgesForExtendedLayout = UIRectEdge.init(rawValue: 0)
