Application to the tribunal
The application to the tribunal (known as ’civil proceedings’) depends on which type of tenancy the client has.
Civil proceedings applications are for issues not covered by a specific rule, but that arise from the relevant type of tenancy – eg, an application for a payment order for rent arrears. Civil proceedings applications can be submitted alone by the tenant or the landlord, or they can be submitted together with an eviction application by the landlord.
There are also some rules which apply across the board to all tenancy agreements.
