Postponement requisition

Postponement requisition

An eviction notice is part of rent collection, whether you as the creditor and landlord are doing the work, or whether it's your lawyer or a collection agency.

If a tenant chooses not to pay their rent, you as the landlord must send a demand letter giving a payment deadline of 14 days. If the tenant pays the arrears within the 14 days, they have the right to stay.

However, if the tenant does not pay the amount due within 14 days, you as the landlord have the option to terminate the lease with immediate effect by sending a termination letter. In practice, this means that there is no longer a tenancy between the tenant and the landlord and that the tenant no longer has the right to stay in the rental property.

In many cases, the tenant chooses to voluntarily vacate after agreeing a deadline with the landlord.

In cases where the tenant does not vacate the premises, the case can be sent to the bailiff court. The bailiff court can help evict the tenant, possibly with the help of movers, locksmiths and police.

The eviction requisition is sent to the bailiff court.

What is an eviction requisition?

An eviction petition is a simple document that a landlord, their administrator, lawyer or a debt collection company submits to the bailiff court with the aim of evicting the tenant.

The eviction is typically based on non-payment or other material breach of the lease agreement.

It's important for the landlord to make sure that the tenant has received the letter - so always make sure to get documentation. If the tenant claims that they did not receive either the demand letter or the termination of the tenancy, the landlord must prove that it was actually sent. If the landlord is unable to do so, the bailiff court will typically dismiss the case.

What does an eviction requisition contain?

An eviction requisition is a relatively simple document that should contain the following information:

  • Information about the landlord
  • Tenant information
  • Lease address
  • The reason for the postponement (e.g. termination or termination of the lease)

A copy of the lease, any demand for payment and documentation for the termination of the lease must be attached to the submitted eviction requisition.

There are no formal requirements for the deferral requisition, either in terms of layout or format - it just needs to contain the above information.

Therefore, there is no need to use a template or similar.

The eviction requisition must be sent to the bailiff court covering the jurisdiction where the tenancy is located.

A court fee of DKK 750 must be paid to the bailiff court when submitting the eviction petition.

If all the formalities surrounding the termination or termination of the tenancy have been complied with, the bailiff will accept the case. If not, the bailiff will reject the case and you will have to start over.

Once the bailiff court has accepted the eviction requisition, it is assessed whether a meeting should be held or whether an outgoing bailiff service with possibly police and a locksmith should be carried out.

In practice, we see that eviction requests due to non-payment are often carried out without an initial meeting, but scheduled directly for a mobile eviction.
