Covering letter for claim form N5 & N119

Compatible region(s): England

Use this covering letter to a county court to enclose the forms and documents needed to issue a claim for possession on the ground of rent arrears, for a property in England let under an assured or assured shorthold tenancy.

You'll need to have already completed claim forms N5 and N119 (particulars of claim) and a schedule of rent arrears. You can use our documents Form N5 - Claim for possession of property (rent arrears only), Form N119 - Particulars of claim (rent arrears only) and Schedule of rent arrears for form N119 to do this.

Note: If you've been told that your tenants have been granted breathing space under the debt respite scheme, you can't send this letter or issue a claim for possession without first getting a court's permission.
