Description
Tendring District Council has a duty to collect all rent due for
its dwellings as the income is vital to fund other housing
services. We will always take all reasonable steps to try to
resolve tenancy or rent arrears problems. However, if all else
fails, the Council will apply to the Courts to repossess a
property. The most common ground for eviction is non-payment of
rent, although it is possible for tenants breaching any other
aspect of their tenancy agreement to be evicted. Once a Possession
Order is obtained from the Courts any application to vary the terms
of the order or to obtain a stay of execution must be made to the
Court itself rather than Tendring District Council.
If tenants are facing a Possession Order, it is advisable to
seek independent legal advice. Tenants can contact a solicitor
directly or the local Citizens Advice Bureau can offer free advice.
Tenants should contact Housing Services to inform them of any
changes in their circumstances once a Possession Order has been
issued.
