Landlord and Tenant Act applications
made under the 1927,1954,1985 and 1987 Acts
and
the rules contained in Schedule 1, RSC Order 97 and Schedule 2, CCR Order 43


Which form do I use to issue my application?

The Part 8B Practice Direction contains two tables listing types of Landlord and Tenant application and which form to use in each one.

Where can I obtain the 'N' form quoted in Table 2?

The Court Service has never produced Landlord and Tenant forms and the forms are therefore only available as precedent forms. The precedent forms can be found in the Forms Section [Part 4] of the 1998 County Court Practice. Landlord and Tenant applications will be considered in the next phase of the reforms and the forms will be redesigned for use in both the High Court and county court.

Will the 'N' form need amending under the Civil Procedure Rules?

Yes. The 'N' forms should also now contain a statement of truth. Some practitioners have interpreted this to mean that both the Part 8 claim form and the 'N' form must be filed. This is not the case. You need only attach a statement of truth to the appropriate 'N' form.

How can I obtain further help or information about the forms
