I remain slightly confused by latest government announcement on eviction protection. My S21 was issued on 16 March 21, my accelerated reposession for presentation to courts is in place for 21 Sep. There are no other factors - perfect tenant but I just need to sell house ASAP (sold subject to vacant possession); notwithstanding the court backlog, is it possible for the court to enforce the eviction before March 21 (based on the ‘protection’ afforded by the government last week) or am I destined to be waiting for another 6 months and probably lose my buyer. Kind rgds Al

She claims housing assistance from council and they have told her to stay put, I have discussed with her some options ( full deposit returned and reducing her rent to help her remain a private tenant but My advice isn’t getting through.) l have to use the court route (amicably) as she is following the council advice. I’m just after an answer to the query on s21 above.

Thanks, my letting agent did this a couple of weeks back, the original s21 expires this week (6 months from issue) but they advised that by commencing the acc rep process and lodging it with court, the expiry of the S21 had been overtaken by the acc rep? I was just wary that I could inadvertently miss something and lose any advantage I had by having an extant S21 from pre lockdown. T will not challenge she is packed and ready to go when the council react to the acc rep. Kind regards Al

You (or your agent) need to send a reactivation notice after 20 September to restart the court process which is currently "stayed".
Your hearing will then be rearranged.When I post, I am expressing an opinion - feel free to disagree, I have been wrong before.
Please don't act on my suggestions without checking with a grown-up (ideally some kind of expert).

All of your points are correct.
And the answer to your question is, I don't know.
The courts seem to have simply stopped processing claims (so they've not been assigned a claim number - which would seem to prevent a reactivation notice being used).
But when they did that and how they're going to revive them, I have no idea.When I post, I am expressing an opinion - feel free to disagree, I have been wrong before.

It appears the answer is "reactivation notice is not required for claims brought on or after 3 August 2020 (http://www.justice.gov.uk/courts/pro...on-proceedings, paragraph 2.2)

Alistersmith - I'd be interested in an update on your experience with your case.
I'd like to know if accelerated possessions still accelerated, or right at the bottom of the pile as some people have suggested?
When you say your tenant "claims housing assistance from council" do you mean she's asked them to help her find a new place to live?
Thanks,
Helen

Reply to Trouble with step motherI think the widow would be held to have the right to remain but have to pay assured rent which is around 55-65% of an unfurnished AST. Better than a poke in the eye. It would be unjust to cast out an old lady who in good faith had made her home there. The Court would take sympathy for her circumsta...

My husband put in place through the solicitor that his father could live rent free in the property but had to pay bills and any repairs or updating. His father married later the same year. The...

Reply to Pandemic problemsby BerlingogirlThis is going to cause me more stress than the pandemic too. Properties that don't reach a C are ones I'm going to have to sell. I just don't have the money to do them all up within the timescale, even with any grants I might be able to get. I've no idea where the tenants are going to live. Have you...

by PropertyhackI am writing a piece for a broadsheet national newspaper on how the pandemic has impacted on landlords, what with so many tenants in arrears. I'm looking for landlords willing to talk to me, on the record, about what 2020/1 has done to them. I'm interested in small scale landlords, who own just one...

Reply to Court reviewby hybriceThere's some confusion here, I'm not sure people understand the process - it's not £66 and it's not £75 (sort of)
1. The £66 covers the cost of getting your Writ. I.e a High Court Master to rubber-stamp your Warrant/Writ
2. You will then need to instruct a HCEO, the cost...-

Reply to Court reviewby BerlingogirlBecause they charge a lot of money per hour. The last solicitor I spoke to said they'd charge £150 per hour but then wanted to give my case to another solicitor at £400 ph!
The first and last time I used a solicitor - going back about 20 years - charged me over £400 for a £150 ish...-

Reply to Tenancy misrepresentationby BeswickIf you have stressed that secure parking is essential and the letting agent has confirmed the flat includes it - and you have all of this in writing - I reckon you'd have a strong case here.
You first step should be to contact a solicitor - most will have a quick conversation with you without...-
