housing association suspended possession order - can it be removed?

[helal6606]

Hi,

Advise please.

I had rent arrears of £8500.00 to the housing association which they have managed to get a suspended order against the flat.

 

I have fully complied with the court order and paid the arrears over the past 3 years

and the account has been in order for the past 5 months.

 

Is the court suspended order still in place and effective even

though the arrears has been paid, and

 

 

if so what are the steps to remove.

Thank you

Stays in place for the life of the tenancy...to ensure future payments are met and if any further default the LL will rely on the existing SPO and apply for a Warrant of Possession.

 

It cant be removed.

No not the rest of your life, but for the duration of your tenancy with the HA.

I recall in zinda vs bos appeal that after 6 years they would require courts permission to enforce the spo.

Once the arrears have been cleared and you have a period continuous payment (usually 12 months), you could apply to the court to have the suspended order lifted. However, the landlord could object and ask for an even longer period of continuous payment.
