How to use these s 8 claim form precedent drafting notes

The claim should be commenced by using Form N5 and accompanied by Particulars of Claim in Form N119 (see: Particulars of Claim for possession (rented residential premises)—Form N119). These drafting notes are for use for completing Form N5 only. The claim form is to be issued after the s 8 notice has been served and expired without the tenant vacating the property. For guidance on the relevant procedures for seeking possession, see Practice Note: Assured and assured shorthold tenancies—terminating.
