An Outright Possession Order (OPO) is a court order issued in the UK which grants a landlord the right to take possession of a residential property from a tenant. The OPO will be granted when a tenant has failed to meet their rental obligations, such as not paying rent, breaching the terms of the tenancy agreement, or committing a criminal offence in the rented property. Once an OPO is granted, the landlord is entitled to evict the tenant from the property and take immediate possession of it. The purpose of an OPO is to protect the rights of landlords against tenants who fail to meet their obligations, and to provide them with a legal remedy in such cases. The scope of an OPO is limited to residential properties and does not apply to commercial or industrial properties.
