Discusses the need to take appropriate measures when residential tenants fall into rent arrears. Considers ways in which courts may seek to strike a balance between allowing reasonable time to pay and a landlord?s claim to an eviction order. Suspended possession orders, the concept of the tolerated trespasser, and no-date possession orders are described. The frequent suspension of warrants is described as undermining the court's authority in recent times. Refers to case law.
