Accelerated Possession

What Is Accelerated Possession?

An accelerated possession order is a fast track way for a landlord to get their property back from a tenant without the need to attend a court hearing. To get an accelerated possession order the landlord will need to make sure that they have followed the correct procedure.

How The Accelerated Possession Process Works?

 The landlord will first need to serve a Section 21 notice in the correct format on their tenant. This will need to give the tenant the appropriate time to leave the property which is at least 2 months.

 If the tenant does not leave after the notice expires the landlord can then begin the accelerated possession claim and make an application to their local county court. There will be no court hearing as this is bypassed because of the accelerated possession and assuming all the paperwork is work the court will give an accelerated possession order demanding the tenant leave the property by a set date which is usually around 14 days.

If the tenant does not leave the property by the set date on the accelerated possession order the landlord can apply to the court for a warrant to have the tenants evicted by county court bailiff’s. If a landlord tries to evict or remove a tenant from their property themselves with following the correct procedure or without a court order can be classed as a criminal offence.
