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

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 immediately. The date by
which the tenant is to give up possession of the dwelling-house is Monday the 24th of August 2017.
