Supplementary A - London Borough of Hillingdon

4.8.2 Before ending your tenancy, we must send you a
‘Notice of Proceedings for Possession’. This is a
legal notice and it will tell you that we intend to go to
court and ask for a possession order. The notice will
give the reasons why we are seeking possession of
your property.
4.8.3 If you are served with a Notice of Proceedings for
Possession, you have the right to request a review of
the decision to evict you. Such a request must be
made within fourteen days of the date we gave you
notice. The Notice will give full details on how you can
request a review. Full details on the procedure
followed on review are obtainable from your housing
officer.
When we carry out our review, we may decide that
our original decision was wrong and you will be
allowed to stay in the property. We may decide,
however, to uphold our original decision to seek
possession, in which case we will apply to the court
for an order for possession.
4.8.4 The law does not require us to prove a legal reason
in court and there may be many reasons why we
decide to seek possession, some of the most
common reasons we might seek to evict you include
• Anti social behaviour
• Rent arrears
• Damage to the property
4.8.5 Once the matter gets to court, and it is shown that we
have followed the correct procedures, the Judge will
have no choice but to make a Possession Order
against you.
