Eviction of Leased Property Through Enforcement
Enforcement Proceedings and Payment Orders

Enforcement Proceedings and Legal Remedies
The remedy when a tenant fails to pay rent or refuses to leave despite an undertaking to vacate depends on the documents. Eviction through enforcement is not a single action. Proceedings linked to rent claims and proceedings based on a written undertaking to vacate have different conditions.
When Is Eviction of Leased Property Through Enforcement Considered?
The lease, rental periods, payment and objection records, and the basis of the eviction request must be examined together. Payment and application deadlines in the document sent to the tenant matter. For an undertaking to vacate, its execution circumstances, the premises, and the promised departure date require separate assessment.
For example, if some months have been paid but service charges or ancillary expenses are disputed, the enforcement account must be separated into its components. Joint tenants, a new owner, or transfer of the lease require separate review of party status. The legal process must be followed instead of changing locks or removing belongings to obtain possession.
Examine the Remedy and the Stage of the File Together
The tenant's allegation of payment, objection to the signature, or defence concerning the lease relationship's scope may affect the remedy. Commencing enforcement does not mean the property can immediately be vacated. Assessment of mediation for an ordinary court action must not be confused with the special rules of enforcement.
Documents to Prepare for the Initial Review
- The lease and any undertaking to vacate
- A rent and payment table by period
- Notices, payment orders, and service records
- Documents concerning changes of parties and ownership
Assess the lease, payment table, and any undertaking to vacate together with the service dates.
