Going to Court

If you fail to pay your rent and any arrears you owe, we will take court action through the County Court to recover your property.

The court will decide whether to give either:

• a postponed order for possession, allowing you to stay in your home as long as you stick to certain conditions
• an outright possession order, which includes a date when you must give the property back to us. If you don't leave, we will arrange for a bailiff to remove you and your belongings from the property 

If legal action against you is successful, you will have to pay the court costs - in addition to your rent and arrears.

If you are evicted, you will still have to pay all your rent arrears and any other debts you owe us.
