Take Legal Action When Tenants Refuse to Leave After a Breach Notice
If your tenant has breached the tenancy agreement and failed to leave after being served a valid Section 8 Notice, the next step is to issue court proceedings for possession. At Evictors, we provide a comprehensive and efficient service to help landlords enforce their rights and regain possession through the courts.
When Are Court Proceedings Required?
Once a Section 8 notice expires and the tenant hasn’t vacated the property, you are entitled to apply to the court for a possession order. This legal process involves submitting a formal claim, presenting your grounds for eviction, and where necessary attending a court hearing.
Common reasons for Section 8 court action include:
- Serious or persistent rent arrears
- Damage to the property
- Nuisance or antisocial behaviour
- Any other breach of tenancy terms
Unlike Section 21 claims, most Section 8 proceedings require a court hearing where the judge assesses the evidence and decides whether possession should be granted.
Our Court Proceedings Service Includes:
- Full case review and verification of grounds
- Drafting and providing you your possession claim ready for submission to the court
- Drafting of other documents if required
- Representation by our panel legal team (or agents) at the hearing (at additional cost)
- Support with applying for bailiffs if the tenant still refuses to leave after an order is granted (at additional cost)

What Happens After a Possession Order?
If the judge grants possession, your tenant will usually be ordered to leave by a set date. If they fail to do so, we can help you move to the next stage enforcement by bailiffs to recover your property lawfully.
