Covering letter for claim form N5 & N119

Use this covering letter to the court if you're issuing an application for a possession order for rent arrears for assured shorthold tenancy agreements. You'll need to have already completed claim forms N5 and N119.

You must not send this letter (or the N5 and N119 forms) to the tenant if you're told that they've been granted formal 'breathing space' from the rent arrears debt under the Debt respite scheme.
