    Most typical leases require two months notice when breaking, are you sure yours is only one? Then again, most typical leases dont pay quarterly either so sounds like you were on quite a unique arrangement. Good luck!

    If the landlord has a new tenant then they might let you in with the bailiffs. They will be only too happy to identify what belongs to the landlord.

    If you know her bank account number, you can enforce the small claims tribunal judgment in the district court through garnishee proceedings, as a lawyer I have done it many times

    wilfhk - Thanks. Can tell me where I can find the application form of garnishee proceedings? Where to submit it together with the court order? The entire process of small claim tribunal was vey simply to me and it was easy to find the whole procedures on the internet. But it doesn’t seem that is the case for garnishee proceedings. I could be wrong.

    Unfortunately no forms are available on the internet, you are instead required to file a thing called "affirmation" plus a "draft order" to the district court. (district courts are much less accessible to laymen than Small Claims Tribunals)

    The requirements as to the application are stated in Order 49 of the Rules of District Court

    Drop me a PM if you want to discuss further.
