Use this form to apply for a county court order to get possession of a property let under an assured shorthold tenancy agreement (AST) for a residential property located in England or Wales. It will create cover sheets for you to attach supporting documents to, if your circumstances require it.

• All the AST agreements with the tenants are written.
• All of the tenants are individuals (i.e. not companies or organisations).
• At least one of the tenants occupies the property as their only home.
• None of the tenants are employed in agriculture.
• If there is more than one landlord, none of them operate as a business.
• A section 21 notice has been served on the all the tenants at the same time and in the same way.
• Your claim is only for possession of your property and doesn't include any other claim (e.g. rent arrears).
• If you've received a deposit, you've paid it into a government-approved tenancy deposit scheme.
• If the first or latest tenancy agreement is dated on or before 1st December 2003, you've paid any owed stamp duty.

Note that you must send a court fee with this form and a notice about the effect coronavirus has had on the tenants and any of their dependants (you can use our document Possession claim notice: effect of the coronavirus pandemic on the tenant to do this).
