Does an Eviction Court Order apply to other people (who are not tenants) living in a property when it is executed ?
The tenant's girlfriend is living in the property.
What would happen when the bailiff goes to evict the tenant & finds someone else not named on the court order (the girlfriend), living there ?

Is the girlfriend on the tenancy agreement? If not then she has no rights to stay.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0

It applies to the tenant(s), they need to vacate the property and take with them their possessions, pets, sub-tenants, family and all.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

the bailiff will probably change the locks and let them sort it out afterwards. he will have a court order in his hand which he will have to action.0

Tenants are allowed to have people to stay. Living there is a different matter. All have to get out though.RENTING? Have you checked to see that your landlord has permission from their mortgage lender to rent the property? If not, you could be thrown out with very little notice.
Read the sticky on the House Buying, Renting & Selling board.0 -
the bailiffs warrant is addressed to the tenant and includes all other occupiers. The bailiff changes the locks at the alloted time and if you have not got all your belongings out you have to make an appointment to get them.0

OP!
Please understand that if every tenant tried to house non-tenants as a way of avoiding eviction then rented property in the UK would have ceased completely, even for LA's.
I believe you may be grasping at straws?In case you hadn't already worked it out - the entire global financial system is predicated on the assumption that you're an idiot:cool:0 -
How does it include other occupiers if it's addressed to the tenant ?
Because the tenant is the one on the tenancy agreement and is the only person with any sort of legal right to stay there until such time as the court order is granted. The girlfriend has no rights at all in this case.
If she insists on staying on until the bailiffs appear, then she may find it difficult to retrieve her stuff in time. Also, I cannot imagine that it is a pleasant experience for anyone concerned.
It really is not in her interests to fight this - she will not win. Her time would be much better spent finding somewhere to live.0
