Having obtained a
Possession Order from the court the
landlord can now initiate eviction proceedings. Evictions are carried out by
the court bailiffs and a Warrant must be obtained from the court instructing
the bailiffs to take action.
The bailiff will usually visit the
premises and give notice to the tenant that they must vacate by a certain date
otherwise the bailiffs will remove them. Such action is seldom needed as the
appearance of the bailiff is normally enough to persuade the tenant to leave.
However, the bailiffs will not hesitate to use reasonable force to evict a
stubborn tenant who ignores their final warning.
Following eviction the
landlord should immediately change the locks, carry out a complete inventory
and condition check and, if possible, obtain a forwarding address for the
evicted tenant.
