Landlords who want to evict tenants who have breached
suspended possession orders are being warned they must go to court with
evidence of the breach before they can act. The warning comes following a case
in which the Appeal Court ruled the council (Cardiff) acted incorrectly by
actioning the possession order after it was alleged the tenant had breached the
terms. The ruling will have significant implications for landlords applying for
warrants of possession in the County Court – with the process set to become
more expensive and time consuming as a result.The case concerned a tenant who
had a suspended possession order relating to antisocial behaviour, which they
subsequently breached. Read more on the RLA website.
