MHCLG has updated its guidance for landlords and tenants in the private and social rented sectors which explains the possession action process in the county courts in England and Wales. One document is intended to help social landlords understand the new arrangements which will be in place when the stay on possessions ends.

Another document will assist tenants who have been served with a notice requiring or seeking possession and provides detailed information about each stage of the possession action process where the landlord makes a possession claim to the county court. Each guidance document has been updated for the move to Covid-19 rules step 4 on 19 July 2021.
