UK Landlord Rights
The eviction process when faced with a tenant who has not complied with the provisions of the tenancy agreement is generally more of an inconvenience than a serious legal problem.
However, it is a hassle that most landlords can do without, and may well have ensuing effects on the individual circumstances of each case.
Gray Purdue understand that although the legal eviction procedure is normally quite straightforward, it is also something that requires diplomacy combined with an effective amount of insistence.
We can provide legal advice and guidance that will ensure you complete each
stage of the process with the minimum amount of stress and complication.

Presented with a Written Notice
The first stage is to serve your tenant with written notice to abandon the premises. Most landlords have already fulfilled this provision and been ignored by the tenant by the time they seek legal advice.
However, our expert team can also provide information and assistance with this part of the process if required, as the notice must include certain legal information and comply with tenancy law stipulations in order to be enforceable.
Presented with a Possession Order
If your tenant is still in occupancy when the term established by the notice to quit has expired, you must apply for a court order, called a Possession Order, to force the tenant to leave.
At this stage legal advice is highly recommended, as a court hearing is usually necessary in which the landlord must prove reason to the court. This part of the process is the most complicated, but is normally successful and the tenant then moves out of your property after the period of time stipulated by the court.
Our specialist solicitors will prepare your case and present it in court, making sure that all eventualities are covered and the application goes through with no complications.
Arranging a Bailiff
If the tenant still refuses to leave the property, you must arrange for a bailiff to carry out the eviction on your behalf. Bailiffs are employed by the court, and your solicitor will undertake all necessary action to organise this final step in the process.
We understand that this may be a somewhat unpleasant procedure, and we aim to complete the action as discreetly and rapidly as possible.
