Judge said if we needed bailliffs' warrant to evict tenant, it would take 2 weeks from date tenant is supposed to be out. Reading posts though suggest it could take alot longer.

Try and speak to the Bailiff, as they will have a clearer answer as to how long.
I was granted possession on the 21st October, but tenant is still there, basically because I put paperwork into my local court, and asked it to be transferred to the court that covers the property area, but this was not done correctly.
The bailiffs have also been off work for a few weeks due to Christmas, so they may have a back log.
Also make sure that you fill in the return slip at the bottom of the form to confirm that you or someone acting for you will be attending.
2 weeks does seem very quick, my local bailiff in Rugby would be working on around 6 - 8 weeks, if he's not off sick or on holiday.Comment

Reply to Statutory declaration DPSI'm not sure what the DPS could possibly do with the deposit money if they don't return it.
They can't acquire ownership of it, so they're just stuck looking after it.17-05-2022, 13:34 PM -
Does anyone have experience with DPS stat declaration? When returning the statutory declaration from to DPS is it just literally the form I am returning? Or, do I also send additional information at that time too? Many thanks...17-05-2022, 07:17 AM

There's no reason to change the agreements unless there's wording in there that's no longer possible - like who they have to pay rent to or who holds their deposit.
Ideally, even that could be corrected by a simple letter to each tenant confirming what's changed, rather than issuing a new...17-05-2022, 13:31 PM -

Hi Folks ,I m just updating this post with what is definitely correct. In this case where the AST was not renewed and when the AST was granted I am allowed to maintain deposit over 5 weeks .If a new ast is granted only then will I be required to return any deposit above the cap .17-05-2022, 12:58 PM
