Case preparation
What to gather before referring a possession case.
A clean first submission helps BTC understand the route, identify gaps and reduce avoidable back-and-forth.
Core case information
Start with the tenancy and the reason for possession.
- Tenancy agreement and current tenancy details
- Deposit information and relevant prescribed-information records
- Proof of property ownership / right to possession
- Applicable property licence where the property is licensable
- Landlord's reason for seeking possession
- Evidence supporting that reason
- Relevant tenant correspondence
- Any notices, court papers or enforcement documents already issued
Ground-specific evidence
Not every case requires the same evidence. Examples may include:
- Detailed rent schedule for arrears cases
- Evidence of intention to sell where sale is relied upon
- Evidence of intended occupation where applicable
- Records of breaches, complaints or property-condition issues where relevant
BTC should review the facts of the individual case before the correct route is confirmed.
