a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
Good afternoon all. Need some advice. I'm living with my in-laws who are being evicted due to rent arrears (private rent). They have somewhere to go now but I don't. The possession order was dated for 26th May. The Housing dept. told me that I would not have to leave the property until I get an eviction notice. How long does it usually take from possession order to eviction notice and bailiffs attending? This is important breathing space for me so can sort myself out. Can't move with in-laws as there will be no space. Thanks in advance.[/font][FONT='Verdana','sans-serif'] [/font]
If the possession order from court stated 26th May it means that you must leave by that date. However, if you don't give possession to the lender by that date they will apply for an eviction warrant - that could take about a week and then you may have anything between 7 and 14 days to get out (sometimes a little longer).
