Reply to Lockdown and repossessions

by jpkeates

About 1/3 of successful possession claims result in the actual use of bailiffs.
So the majority of tenants move out after the possession (or, at least, the issue of the warrant).

Will the courts stop repossessions procedures as before if they introduce lockdown ?...

The only hope is that the non paying tenants leave before bailiffs come since it is clear that the plague is here forever.

Reply to Can I exercise break clause and notice period

by MdeB

Ground 1 does not apply as you do not want to live there.

Ground 2 is for use by mortgage company, not LL.

You are right about agent acting in its interest not yours (which is unlawful, but many do it).

I would suggest talking to the tenants(voice, not email/message...

Can I exercise break clause and notice period

by wildflower

According to the tenancy agreement, I, as landlord, may terminate the tenancy by serving a break notice on the tenant. This is an assured shorthold tenancy and the break notice period must be at least two months. Am I correct in thinking that this means that I would seek possession under Section 8 rather...

Reply to Lockdown and repossessions

by jpkeates

The government has said it will stop eviction by bailiffs where there are local lockdowns.
So presumably they will do the same in the event of a national lockdown.

There are public health reasons not to repossess properties when plague is widespread, so I wouldn't be surprised.

Reply to Is a Tomlin order a possession order?

by jpkeates

A Tomlin Order is a settlement that's been deferred.
So the court has already ordered possession and then deferred the execution of the order.
So, the case hasn't been stayed by the court, so you should be able to simply ask the court to execute the original decision.

But that's...

Is a Tomlin order a possession order?

by Cuomo78

I had a Tomlin order with a tenant, signed by the court. We agreed in February for him to leave in April, he didn't (claiming hardship because of Coronavirus).

The Tomlin order gives me permission to ask the court to enforce its execution on Grounds 10 & 11 if he didn't leave.

Reply to Tenants possessions left in abandoned property

by jpkeates

The OPs already changed the locks, so they're past any point of an abandonment procedure.

If you wade through the slightly sensationalist article, you will see that a landlord prosecuted for illegal eviction is "typically" fined about £1000.
