If you need a court possession order to evict a lodger, for any of the reasons noted above, landlords should complete the relevant forms, available from the local county court, and provide any supporting evidence.
The court will then serve the summons, with details of the claim, by post to the lodger or tenant,  notifying him or her and you of the date of the hearing.
The lodger will be invited to complete a ‘defence form’, which they should return to the court within 14 days if they dispute the eviction.
Both parties should then attend the court hearing, where the judge will award you possession at the end of the tenancy period as long as you have followed the correct procedures, or if they consider their behaviour to have breached the tenancy agreement.
Sometimes, the court may postpone the start date of the possession for up to six weeks
In some cases, the court can postpone the start date of the possession order for anything up to 6 weeks and, if the lodger has not left by then, you can apply for a warrant of eviction, when bailiffs will evict the lodger.
