Return Of Rented Property
MrK has been renting his bachelor pad but now we need it back.
Tenants have not been paying rent so the Agency we use has issued them with notice to quit which they have ignored
They have now booked Ballifs for us but the earliest date is late August.
We can't struggle on much longer with no rent coming in and was wondering if there is a way to speed up the process.
I've seen on some of the TV shows that they *escalate to the High Court* but not sure what this means or how to do it.
Any help appreciated as our Agent doesn't seem to understand the urgency.

If the agents have booked bailiffs then they must have had a s.21 court order- but it doesnt look as tho you have got all the paper work ( such as the CCJ)
You escalate the the sheriffs by filling out a form and paying. By god it inflates THEIR bill - but I dont remember they acted any faster
er you are going to have to ask the estate agent
I have only really on gone after possession - it boils down to.... if they had the rent they wd have paid it...
( so they dont [have the rent]) - so it not worth going after something you will never get.
You need the court order ( CCJ) in order to send it to their next landlords - sort of 'be afraid, be terribly afraid' sort of thing
Sorry Darcey I can't answer this but I am so sorry this is happening to you. What an awful thing to do and causing you such stress. I hope you can somehow get your rent and more eventually.
Perhaps you could have a word with Citizens Advice. Hopefully BM will see this and be able to help. We must keep bumping it especially if we see her on line.
