The Landlord, the Mayor and Burgesses of the London Borough of Enfield intends to apply
to the Court for an order requiring you to give up possession of:

If you are a secure tenant under the Housing Act 1985, you can only be required to leave your
dwelling if your landlord obtains an order for possession from the Court. The order must be
based on one of the Grounds, which are set out in the 1985 Act (see paragraphs 3 and 4
below).

If you are willing to give up possession without a Court order, you should notify the person
who signed this Notice as soon as possible and say when you would leave.
Possession will be sought on Grounds 1 & 2 of Schedule 2 to the Housing Act 1985, which
read:

NOTES TO PARAGRAPH 3
Whatever Grounds for possession are set out in paragraph 3 of this Notice, the Court may
allow any of the other Grounds to be added at a later stage. If this is done, you will be told
