Evictions
Eviction is always the last resort, but sometimes necessary, for that to happen we would have been to court and obtained a possession order first.
- An eviction can be for a variety of reasons, including rent arrears and anti-social behaviour and will mean a Tenancy Notice. We've popped together some more information on Tenancy Notices that may help
- Once we receive the court order, we'll tell you so that you can arrange to move out
- If you refuse to move out, we ask a court bailiff to attend on the eviction date to ensure the property is empty before we change the locks
If you have been asked to attend court or are being evicted we encourage you to seek out legal advice, you can go the Citizens' Advice Bureau or ask for help when you're in court. This can be free depending on the circumstances.
An eviction is very serious. If you're evicted, the local council might not give you another home and renting a private home may also be hard as we couldn't give you a positive landlord reference.
Leading up to an eviction we will let the local council know and ask that you contact them as well.
