Housing Law: What to Do If Facing Eviction Over Disrepair Complaints?

Date when Video was Published: 09/05/2024

Script for the above Video

If your landlord attempts to evict you after you've complained about housing disrepair, it may be considered retaliatory eviction, which is illegal. The Deregulation Act 2015 introduced provisions to prevent such evictions in cases where legitimate disrepair concerns are raised. Here are steps to consider: 1. Seek Legal Advice: Contact our top specialist Housing solicitors to understand your legal rights and options. They can guide you through the process and advise on the best course of action. 2. Document Everything: Keep detailed records of all your communication with the landlord, including complaints about disrepair, responses, and any eviction notices. Gather evidence of the disrepair, such as photographs, inspection reports, and witness statements if available. 3. Defend Against the Eviction: If your landlord initiates eviction proceedings, you can defend against it in court by citing retaliatory eviction as a reason. Contact Duncan Lewis Solicitors to assist you. Legal advice and assistance are essential in navigating the process.
