If an HMO (House in Multiple Occupation) tenant refuses to leave after an eviction notice in the UK, the landlord must follow the legal process to remove them. In the case of a no fault eviction uk under Section 21 of the Housing Act 1988, the landlord can ask the tenant to leave without providing a reason, as long as the fixed-term tenancy has ended and proper notice is given. If the tenant refuses to leave after the notice period expires, the landlord cannot force them out directly. Instead, they must apply to the court for a possession order. If the court grants the order and the tenant still refuses to leave, the landlord can request bailiffs to legally remove the tenant. It is illegal for a landlord to evict a tenant without a court order, and doing so could result in legal consequences for the landlord.
