Answer

In the event that a tenant ignores a court order for possession, the landlord can make an application to the court for a Warrant of Possession and the appointment of a County Court Bailiff to evict the tenant.

A Warrant of Possession allows landlords to reclaim their property from occupants who do not vacate voluntarily, with enforcement carried out by an Enforcement Agent, often referred to as a bailiff, under the jurisdiction of the County Court. If someone chooses not to let a bailiff in or to make payment arrangements bailiffs may opt to take items from outside the home, such as your car, to settle the debt. Refusing to cooperate with bailiffs may result in an increase in the amount owed.

On the other hand, if you allow a bailiff into your home but fail to make payment the bailiff may proceed to take some of your belongings. These items can be sold to cover the outstanding debts and their fees.
