LAMBETH, LONDON, ENGLAND
i was wondering, how exactly do you take someone to court? do you write a letter to that court, do you get some kind of application form, do you do it through the police?
also, what would tenant eviction come under? (civil?)

If it's county court then you have to go in there and present evidence and pay for the notice to be sent to them

Hi there
Sounds like your problem is to do with a bad tenant (I might add that most are good, its a few theat spoil it).
You will need to use a solicitor for eviction, unless you are very knowledgeable of the legal process to evict someone.
Tenant eviction is a civil matter, the police do not get involved unless the tenant fails to follow a court order.
Once the tenant has been evicted you will need to take them to court to claim back lost rent and damages to the property (if any). The cheapest way to do this is to use the online court service .. I have added a link below for this.
Finally, when letting a property alwayd carry out a tenant check. You can get these for as little as £8.95. I have added another link on this for you also.

I once came across a handy little book entitled "Suing in the County Court." It was first class and gave full details of how to go about it without a lawyer. I haven't been able to discover if it still in print. If you could only get rid of it or a more up-to-date successor, then you could do the whole thing yourself, as many people do. Basically, you go to the appropriate county court (the one covering the area where the property is located) and take out a summons. The court office will help you in every way possible, as will the judge at the hearing.
Meanwhile, I've got a useful link for you: http://64.233.161.104/search?q=cache:0nBmOqft-sAJ:www.cambridgeshire.net/advice/services/consumer/Thinking_of_Suing_in_a_County_Court.htm+england+suing+in+the+county+court&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1

Depending upon the value of the debt, the usual recourse is through the County Court. You can get the necessary papers and information from the County Cours and on-line (search County Courts).
Tenant eviction is civil

UK: It would appear to be a Landlord/Tenant dispute. Your first step is to get Legal Advice, either through the Citizens Advice Bureau or a Solicitor. They will tell you if you have a case and advise you on how to take action.............

Normally you would go to the court and ask them to issue a summons.
