Notice of hearing after order for possession?
Hi Everyone, I have the order for Possession (Accelerated procedure) (Assured shorthold tenancy) in July which said that the tenant should leave the property on the 7th of August.
However, the tenant did not leave the property on that day so I had to apply N325(For a Warrant of Possession of Land) in August.
Finally, I have received a notice of hearing on the 14th of November. I Don’t know what this means?
I already have the order for Possession.
Do I need to have a hearing session?
Many thanks
Abigail

Yes, you need to go – if your tenant is hoping to get housed by the council as they have nowhere to go they need to be forcibly removed by court bailiffs. The process goes order of possession, court hearing then date of removal – the judge can also award discretionary leave to stay for upto 26 weeks in extreme circumstances. It is only once they are on the streets will any council even think of allocating emergency housing to the most vulnerable.

“…the judge can also award discretionary leave to stay for upto 26 weeks in extreme circumstances.”
Who pays the rent for these 26 weeks? The Courts?

The tenant is responsible, any rent due that isn’t covered by the deposit can he sought after in small claims court.

Reply to the comment left by Emma Weller at 15/11/2023 – 13:30Really? Likely throwing good money away?
All the more point in making sure you have a copper bottomed guarantor? Many of these potential rascals are far more afraid of Uncle/Aunt than they ever respect the Court.
