Property eviction (notice 21) and British Citizenship application

[OMARMOH]

hi, I am applying to British citizenship in 2 weeks (+12 months ILR and more than 10 years in the UK), however, I received a (valid) notice 21 letter with all associated documents of the property last 2 months. I could not find a property to move out so me and my family decided to stay but we were notified a few days ago to attend to the Court in Jan for a possession order. My question is, being in the court for the above case, does that negatively impact my citizenship application? If so, any advice what shall I do, please?

No. It's a civil matter and not relevant to the 'good character' criteria for British citizenship. I hope you soon find a new home to settle in.

It shouldn't do. Could be worth speaking to a homelessness charity/solicitor for more precise advice and if it gives you reassurance write a cover letter about it.

As said above it’s a civil matter and doesn’t impact the good character requirement. There’s no need to specifically disclose this.

Hope you get it sorted soon.

Many thanks for the prompt response! It is such a relief.

In this case, am I required to mention the above case in my application to let the HO know about it?

Sorry for the follow up question.
