If you stay in the property after your
two months' notice has ended,
your landlord can then apply to court
for a possession order to get their
property back.
This is your opportunity to dispute the
section 21 if it is invalid or to ask
for more time in your home. You can ask
for up to 6 weeks but this will only
be granted in exceptional circumstances.
If the landlord has served the section
21 correctly, they will almost always get
a possession order. Possession orders
usually give you 14 days to move out -
however your landlord can only get you
to leave once they go back to court and
get a bailiff warrant. Call Shelter's free
housing Helpline on 0808 800 4444, an
adviser can explain your options.
