Frequently asked questions: Residential tenant eviction
What is the standard process for a residential tenant eviction?
The standard eviction process typically begins with issuing a legally compliant written notice to the tenant. If the tenant does not vacate by the required date, court possession proceedings should be initiated. After obtaining a possession order, bailiffs may be instructed if the tenant refuses to leave.
How long does the tenant eviction process usually take?
The timescale varies depending on individual circumstances, but typically ranges from two to six months depending on whether notice is contested, court availability, and other specific case complexities.
Can I evict a tenant who is in arrears?
Yes, if your tenant has significant rent arrears, you can issue a Section 8 notice and initiate eviction proceedings. Proper documentation and following legal processes are crucial to achieving success in these cases.
What happens if my tenant ignores the eviction notice?
If your tenant ignores the notice and remains in occupation, you will need to apply to the court for a possession order. If the tenant still does not comply, court bailiffs can enforce eviction.
Can tenants contest or delay eviction proceedings?
Yes, tenants can contest eviction by raising a defence such as improper notice served, outstanding repairs, or procedural mistakes. Engaging legal support early helps mitigate these risks and ensures the smoothest possible process.
What cost is involved in evicting a residential tenant?
Costs will vary based on the complexity and length of the eviction process, including court fees, solicitor fees, and bailiff charges. We provide clear, upfront information on costs at the outset.
