Gaining Possession of the Property
While it is extremely unlikely, there may be a need for you to gain possession of the property.
For example if the tenants stay beyond the fixed term of the agreement without committing to a new contract.
You can only gain possession of the property once you have obtained the correct possession order from a court of law and only after the proper notice has been issued to the tenant.
All notices and possession orders must be in a prescribed form - that is: they must contain certain information required by law.
If you try to gain possession without following the procedures laid out in law, you could be charged by the tenant with harassment or illegal eviction.
