The aim of the duty is to ensure that local authorities are alerted to households at risk of homelessness due to eviction or repossession at an early stage.
What do landlords need to do?
Landlords are required to notify the local authority when they raise proceedings for possession of a dwelling house. It is important to note that the duty does not apply at the point where an AT6, section 33 or Notice to Leave is served. The duty only applies at the point when a landlord raises proceedings in the First Tier Tribunal.
What do creditors need to do?
Creditors have a legal duty to notify a local authority when they:
- serve a calling up notice requiring discharge of the debt secured on property
- serve a notice of default calling on a debtor to remedy a default
- apply to court for a warrant to exercise remedies on default
- raise proceedings to eject a proprietor.
