Rent arrears

If you get into rent arrears with your rent and fail to clear the debt or come to an agreement acceptable to us, we have the right to take you to court and seek eviction. The steps to eviction are given below and are used as a last resort.

1. You will receive a Notice of
   Seeking /Requiring Possession
   or a Notice to Quit
2. If you do not repay the debt you will receive a possession summons giving a date for a hearing at the county court.
3. If the debt is not cleared in full then the court can either make an Outright Order or Suspended Possession Order, if you do not repay the debt after a Suspended
   Order you will receive a Warrant of Possession with an eviction date.

You should contact L&Q Direct and speak to the revenue team straight away if you get into arrears. Revenue officers are responsible for all aspects of the rent and arrears recovery service.
