## When to use it

Use when an ACAT rental file needs the form the forms page titles Application for a warrant for eviction. The page does not state when a warrant is available. The lawyer decides whether this file is the right one. It is not the tenancy dispute application. The tool does not write the application.

## Used for these tasks

- [Prepare the tribunal application for a termination and possession order](https://ailawframework.com/practice/residential-tenancies/prepare-the-tribunal-application-for-a-termination-and-possession-order.md)

## How AI may be used

AI may check that the current file is the warrant-for-eviction application and list gaps. The lawyer decides whether a warrant is available and writes the application.

**AI may:**

- Check the file name Application_for_a_warrant_for_eviction.pdf against the document on the file
- Flag that the page states no precondition and no time limit for this application
- Flag the tenancy dispute application, which is a different file on the same list

**AI must not:**

- Must not draft the grounds for the warrant or any words that would be lodged
- Must not state that a possession order is required, because the page does not say that
- Must not invent a fee, a section or a form number
- Must not sign or lodge the application

**The lawyer checks:**

- The lawyer has decided this warrant application is the form the matter requires
- The page stated no form number. The PDF was not opened
- The tenancy dispute application is not reused as this warrant
- The court's or tribunal's current index is checked before assuming a generative-AI practice direction applies. None was stated on the page opened for this guide.
