Obtaining Eviction & Debt Court Orders


Court Orders are necessary when negotiation, demand letters, and legal notices have been ignored by the tenant. A Court Order must first be obtained if a landlord wishes to enforce his rights.

 

1. Initial advice on the pros and cons so that you can decide if it is in your best interest to start a claim

 

2. Advice on timescales and possible eventualities so that you do not have any "nasty" surprises

 

3. We will submit a technically correct and soundly argued claim ensuring a smooth passage through the court system

 

4. We will handle all correspondence from the court and from the tenant (or the tenant's legal representative). We will advise you on the implications and what the best course of action is if the other side corresponds with us or with the court

 

5. We will retain specialist landlord and tenant court advocates on your behalf (in cases where we are seeking eviction and debt orders)

 

6. We will notify you of any hearing dates, how best to prepare, where to go, and who your court representative will be (in cases where we are seeking eviction and debt orders).

Eviction Order Only

If a tenant does not respond to a notice to vacate (Section 21 notice) the landlord will need to obtain a possession order. We can obtain such an order based on a valid notice prepared by the landlord, a letting agent, or another legal firm.

 

Eviction and Debt Orders

If a tenant does not respond to a final demand for rent (Section 8 notice) the landlord should consider obtaining eviction and money orders.

 

Debt Order Only

We will advise when it makes economic
sense to obtain a money order.
