Regain Possession Legally When Tenants Refuse to Leave

If your tenant hasn’t vacated the property after being served a valid Section 21 notice, the next step is to apply to the court for a possession order. At Evictors, we make this process simple, legal, and stress-free helping landlords across England and Wales take swift and effective action to reclaim their property.

What Are Section 21 Court Proceedings?

Section 21 court proceedings are used when a tenant remains in the property beyond the notice period, even after being served with a valid Section 21 Notice (Form 6A). Since this is a no-fault eviction, you don’t need to prove any wrongdoing by the tenant—but strict legal compliance is essential to avoid delays or dismissal.

Two Types of Possession Claim

  • Accelerated Possession Claim
    • No court hearing required (in most cases)
    • Faster process
    • Used when you’re not claiming rent arrears
    • Suitable if all documentation is in order
  • Standard Possession Claim
    • Required if you are also claiming rent arrears
    • A court hearing may be scheduled
    • Slightly longer process but still effective

We’ll discuss with you on the best route depending on your situation and help you complete and serve the documents you require.

  • Document check to confirm valid Section 21 notice and compliance
  • Drafting and submitting the possession claim to the court after your signature and approval
