Bailiffs – Third time lucky?
Hi, I have had a tenant for 10 years who was in rental arrears in 2022. After obtaining a possession order and bailiffs writ of eviction the tenant pleaded to be allowed to stay and said they would pay up.
I allowed the tenant to stay but by August 2023 they had not finished paying up so I activated the bailiffs again.
This was taken to court and the tenant was given till December 2023 to pay by the judge. They didn’t although they had paid over 70 percent at the time in December, but had not fully cleared it.
Now the tenants have entered into a breathing space which expired but before the breathing space ended they repaid in full all arrears.
I would like to evict after the long arrears issue as I don’t want this stress anymore.
If I get the bailiffs again would it be illegal?
Mike
