Guidance Notes: Obtaining Possession of Residential Property

PROP.PP.01

These Guidance Notes: Obtaining Possession of Residential Property are designed to help landlords navigate their way through the “Accelerated Procedure” for obtaining possession of a property let on an Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST) in England.

This guidance applies to England only.  New rules for terminating occupation contracts in Wales under the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016 are now in place.  Please see Renting Homes Wales for further information. 

They cover service of a Section 21 Notice, applications to court for a possession order and taking enforcement action if the tenant does not vacate as ordered.  The relevant documents in our Possession Proceedings - S21 Accelerated Procedure sub-folder are signposted.

Once you have purchased access to the appropriate document folder click on the “Download Document” button below.  You will be asked what you want to do with the file.  It is recommended that you save the document to a location of your choice prior to viewing.

Guidance Notes: Obtaining Possession of Residential Property is part of Property Documents. Just £35.00 + VAT provides unlimited downloads from Property Documents for 1 year.
