Hi All,

I hope this is the correct place to post this.

Can a Landlords Agent represent a Landlord in Possession/Eviction proceedings at the County Court?

Re: Representation

Where an agent wishes to bring possession proceedings on behalf of a client landlord, it is common practice for agent to be allowed to represent their landlord in such possession cases. The court always has the discretion to allow the agent the right to represent the claimant landlord (this is called the 'right of audience'), but it is not automatic and depends upon the judge hearing the case. Only the claimant in person, or solicitors has a legal right of audience court.

Basically it depends on the judge at the hearing!

Could you provide an outline of the events leading up to the matter you describe in your initial post and, in particular, the actions of the Landlord's Agent as well as the Landlord, please?

The agent can represent the landlord in possession/eviction proceedings. For example, a letting agency who runs a property can take action but that will be with the express consent of the landlord.
