refused him access. The Surveyor attended your flat again in the evening
of the same day following further reports that the water supply to the affected
flats had completely ceased and you refused him access. You then followed

entering his car. He then called the police.
NOTES TO PARAGRAPH 4
Before the Court will grant an order on any of the Grounds 1 to 8 or 12 to 16, it
must be satisfied that it is reasonable to require you to leave. This means that,
if one of these Grounds is set out in paragraph 3 to this Notice, you will be able
to argue at the hearing in Court that it is not reasonable that you should have
to leave, even if you accept that the Ground applies.
Before the court grants an order on any of the Grounds 9 to 16, it must be
satisfied that there will be suitable alternative accommodation for you when you
have to leave. This means that the Court will have to decide that, in its opinion,
there will be other accommodation which is reasonably suitable for the needs
of you and your family, taking into particular account various factors such as
the nearness of your place of work, and the sort of housing that other people
with similar needs are offered. Your new home will have to be let to you on
another secure tenancy or a private tenancy under the Rent Act of a kind that
will give you similar security.
There is no requirement for suitable alternative accommodation where
Grounds 1 to 8 apply.
If your landlord is not a local authority, and the local authority gives a certificate
that it will provide you with suitable accommodation, the Court has to accept
the certificate.
One of the requirements of Ground 10A is that the landlord must have approval
for the redevelopment scheme from the Secretary of State (or, in the case of a
housing association landlord, the Housing Corporation). The landlord must
have consulted all secure tenants affected by the proposed redevelopment
scheme.
5. Court proceedings for possession of the dwelling-house can be begun
