You can apply for an accelerated possession order if your tenants have not left by the date specified in your Section 21 notice and you’re not claiming rent arrears.

This is sometimes quicker than applying for a standard possession order and there’s usually no court hearing.

Fixed-term tenants cannot be evicted until their tenancy ends.

If you want to claim rent arrears you can use either the:

• standard possession procedure
• accelerated procedure to get your property back, then make a separate court claim for the rent arrears
