If a tenant does not vacate the property after the notice period ends, the landlord must apply to the court for a possession order. A court hearing will be scheduled, during which both parties can present their case.
If the court grants possession, and the tenant still refuses to leave, the landlord can apply to the court to enforce the possession order through the use of county or high court bailiffs
A landlord is not permitted by law to physically remove a tenant without a court order, to do so would be a serious criminal offence.
