Introduction

The information on this page is intended to be an overview of key points relating to the eviction process for people in private rented accommodation. If you are a lodger, in council housing, or a different type of accommodation, the rules may be different.

This page is a general guide, and you should always seek advice that is specific to your circumstances. Contact us for advice and support. You could also speak to Citizens Advice or your local Law Centre.

If you are facing eviction, the action you need to take will depend on the stage of the process you are at. The process can vary according to your specific situation, including the type of living arrangement or tenancy you have, as well as the reasons for the eviction.
