Response to privant tenant and repossession

from Chris (chrsh@email.com)
I'm afraid the answer is that, yes, the Courts CAN evict you despite your tenancy agreement.

However, they must get an eviction order from the judge before they are allowed to do this, and you must get notice of the hearing beforehand. Notices are sent to both the landlord and to the property itself, addressed to The Occupier, in order to cater for this situation.

I would suggest that your best bet (and I appreciate this isn't easy) is to leave as soon as possible. If you cannot leave before the possession hearing takes place, I would attend and ask that the judge give more time. If you explain the situation I would think the judge would be happy to grant you more time.

Your first trip should probably be to your local CAB who will be able to offer advice as well...

Hope this all helps.
