Possession claim notice: effect of the coronavirus pandemic on the tenant

This document is required at a possession claim hearing if your claim was started between 3 August 2020 and 30 June 2022 (inclusive), under the section 8 or section 21 procedure.

You need to take 2 copies of it to the hearing, and give an extra copy to the tenants at least 14 days before the hearing date.

In the document, you'll need to tell the court what you know about how the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has affected the tenants and their dependants. This applies even if they've not been affected by it, or if you haven't been able to find out.
