Part 2 - Orders: No.5 Order of Possession

What this form is for

• • Use when you have a final judgment for possession and need a formal order to enforce it.
• • Do not use for interim possession orders; a different Part 2 form applies.
• • If the judgment includes a stay of execution, you must apply for a variation, not this form.
• • For residential tenancies, the Residential Tenancies Board (RTB) may require separate notice.
• • When the property is mortgaged, the mortgagee uses the same form but must include the mortgage deed.
