Q: How long does it take to get a tenant to court?
I have served my tenant with all the appropriate notices and they have still failed to pay their rent. How long will it take to get my tenant to court?
A:
If your tenant has failed to react to your rent arrears form, Section 8 and Section 21 notice, then you are entitled to go to the courts to gain possession of your property.
It will normally take 6-10 weeks to get a court order, but before this you will need to issue a N5 Claim Form for Possession of Property and a N119 which will help you to reclaim lost rents.
