Rented Possession Cases

What will happen at the hearing?

A judge will decide whether or not to make an order for possession.

In making this decision, the judge will take account of the information provided by the claimant. The judge will also take account of any information you provide, such as details of your personal and financial circumstances, any proposal you have made to pay off any arrears, and any dispute you have about the amount owing. But the judge can only take the information into account if you provide it. Fill in these details in the defence form and attend the hearing. It is in your best interests to do both.
