Apply for a warrant to evict

An eviction warrant allows a bailiff to evict anyone from the property and return possession (control of the property) to the creditor. You, or a person representing you (such as a property manager or solicitor), must be at the eviction.

You may arrange for a locksmith to be at the eviction. The locksmith can change the locks so that the house is secure. If you choose to do this, you must pay for it.

How to apply for an eviction warrant

You must file the application in 3 months from either the date the order is first breached or the date the tenancy ended. Attached to your application we require a sealed copy of your Tenancy Tribunal/Meditator's Order. Also if your eviction is conditional on the tenant breaching a payment arrangement, a copy of the your rent schedule showing the breach.
