Common confusion points
Confusing 'Permissive Occupant' with a simple tenant—a permissive occupant might have permission but not formal tenancy rights under the lease/title.
Not knowing which box to tick when both title and permission exist (consult your solicitor for guidance).
Assuming filling out Form 2D is enough; you must still detail *why* they need to be ejected in the main claim body.
Mistaking this form for a notice of intention rather than the formal initiation document.
