The prescribed form RHW20 is used where a contract holder of an occupation contract is seriously in arrears with their rent.
The contract-holder is seriously in arrears with their rent—
- where the rental period is a week, a fortnight or four weeks if at least eight weeks' rent is unpaid;
- where the rental period is a month if at least two months' rent is unpaid;
- where the rental period is a quarter, if at least one quarter's rent is more than three months in arrears;
- where the rental period is a year if at least 25% of the rent is more than three months in arrears.
RHW20 cannot be used for any other purpose.
Please see here for more details on seeking possession based on serious rent arrears.
