Bailiffs
Comments
-
In the type of situation you describe, the 'more civilised' approach would be to tell the tenant the date and time the bailiffs will be arriving - so that they are packed up and ready to move out.
(Although I guess if you had a difficult tenant, who might barricade the door etc, the element of surprise might be useful.)
Presumably, it is a 'non-fault' eviction - i.e. not because of rent arrears etc.
Councils tend to regard people who are evicted for rent arrears which they should be able to afford (or some other fault on their part) as intentionally homeless.
Similarly, if the tenant asked you to evict them (in order to get rehoused), the council would class them as intentionally homeless.
The tenants must get the letter which tells them this....0
