A Suspended Possession Order (SPO) is a court order granted by a judge in a UK housing court. It is issued when a tenant has breached their tenancy agreement and/or failed to pay rent, and is designed to allow the tenant to remain in their home while they take appropriate steps to resolve any outstanding issues. An SPO requires the tenant to comply with certain conditions set by the court, such as paying any outstanding rent, keeping to the terms of their tenancy agreement, and not engaging in any further breaches. The SPO may also include provisions for the tenant to receive support from a designated housing officer, and/or for the landlord to provide suitable advice or assistance to enable the tenant to comply with the SPO. Failure to comply with the conditions of the SPO may result in the tenant being evicted from their home.
