Hello everyone.

I recently paid £355 to issue an accelerated claim of possession form (N5B) to the local magistrates court.
My question is, could I get that deducted from the bond payment the tenant made?

Thank you much appreciated.

Definitely not if you send the claim and money to the magistrates court. :-D

Assuming you mean the county court, only if the court award cost to you (and say you can take it out of the deposit), or the tenant agrees. Basically, only if you actually win the case. If the tenant defend successfully, then no.
