Expedited Eviction: Claim to Enforcement
By Adv. Yechiel Rachamim Menahemov & Adv. Assaf ShpigelPublished:
The practical dilemma
A non-paying tenant refuses to leave and argues that litigation will take years. What does the dedicated possession route provide?
The legal position
Civil Procedure Regulation 81 provides a specific route for non-protected tenancies. A defence is due within 30 days of service; the hearing is intended to be fixed within 30 days of the last defence deadline, subject to applicable rules and orders. This does not guarantee physical eviction within 60–90 days. Monetary remedies are pursued separately. Judgment and Enforcement Office implementation involve distinct notice and timing requirements.

Your next step
Check termination and possession provisions and document breaches and notices. Prepare the appropriate possession claim and a separate recovery plan. Implement the judgment through lawful enforcement rather than self-help.
