14 | The Government publishes statistics on evictions pursued through the courts in England and Wales. The courts aren’t involved in all evictions – some tenants may move out once a notice is served. Likewise, not all court proceedings end in the tenant’s eviction. Action taken through the courts has several stages | ||||||||||
15 | 1. Landlords must first enter a claim for possession | ||||||||||
16 | 2. The court may then grant a possession order. Some possession orders are suspended (meaning the tenant can stay in the property if they meet certain conditions, such as making rent payments). Other possession orders specify a date on which the tenant must leave | ||||||||||
17 | 3. If the tenant doesn’t leave the property by the date specified, the court can issue a warrant for possession | ||||||||||
18 | 4. The warrant enables a repossession to be carried out by court bailiffs | ||||||||||
