Court Possessions Suspended


All court possession orders have been suspended with immediate effect. This affects mortgage holders as well as private and social renters across England and Wales. This will affect cases in the system as well as new cases for at least 90 days, though the timeframe may be extended. A government statement said:  “Landlords will have to give all renters three months’ notice if they intend to seek possession (i.e. serve notice that they want to end the tenancy) – this means the landlord can’t apply to start the court process until after this period. “This extended buffer period will apply in law until 30 September 2020.” Read more on the Property Wire website.
