Frequently asked questions
How quickly can a landlord issue a possession claim?
That depends on the facts of the tenancy, the grounds relied on and whether all statutory requirements have been met. Early legal review helps avoid delay.
Can landlords recover rent arrears as well as possession?
Yes. In many cases landlords may pursue arrears alongside possession or separately, depending on the circumstances and commercial objectives.
Do mistakes in notices matter?
Yes. Errors in notices or pre-action preparation can cause delay, extra cost and in some cases require the process to start again.
