In order to lawfully obtain vacant possession of a residential property, a landlord will need to serve a valid notice on the tenant(s).The most appropriate notice to serve can vary depending on specific circumstances. Should the tenant(s) not vacate the property upon expiry of a valid notice, a landlord will then need to commence possession proceedings in the Court to obtain a possession order. In the event the tenant(s) remain in the property beyond the expiry of a possession order, a landlord would need to instruct county court bailiffs to execute a warrant of possession before vacant possession can be lawfully obtained. It is important a landlord complies with these requirements to avoid any risk of a potential claim from the tenant(s) of unlawful eviction.
