This  Form N5  Claim Form - Guidance on Completing Claim for Possession of Property should be used for landlords as a guide when submitting a claim for possession of residential property. 

What is a Form N5?

It is a court form used alongside Form N119 (Particulars of Claim), when a landlord is seeking a court order for possession of a residential property  let on assured  tenancy.  This route is used when possession is sought under Section 8 of the Housing Act 1988 (as amended), citing specific legal grounds. 

When Can I Use This Form?

Before applying to court, a landlord must serve the tenant with a valid Section 8 Notice, specifying the grounds for possession and the date after which court proceedings may begin. More information on Section 8 Notices can be found here: Obtaining Possession under Section 8 Housing Act 1988.
