Form RHW20: Notice of possession claim due to serious rent arrears
It tells them that you intend to make a court claim to evict them, which you can do from 14 days after serving the notice. It replaces the section 8 notice under the old rules.
Serious rent arrears means at least:
- 8 weeks' rent is in arrears (if the rent is paid weekly, fortnightly or every 4 weeks)
- 2 months' rent is in arrears (if rent is paid monthly)
- One quarter's rent is more than 3 months in arrears (if rent is paid quarterly)
- 25% of the rent is more than 3 months in arrears (if rent is paid each year)
If you've been told that the contract-holder has been granted breathing space under the debt respite scheme, you can't send this notice during this period without first getting a court's permission.
