If you believe your landlord is unlawfully trying to evict you, you should take the following steps to protect your rights and prevent the eviction: 1. Seek Legal Advice: Consult with our Housing solicitors who can provide you with legal guidance and help you understand your rights and the best course of action. 2. Document Everything: Keep detailed records of all interactions with your landlord, including any notices or communications related to the eviction. Document any incidents of harassment, lock changes, or other unlawful actions. 3. Contact Your Local Council: Inform your council's housing department about the situation. They may be able to provide guidance, support, or intervention in cases of unlawful eviction. 4. Apply for an Injunction: If you believe you are facing immediate unlawful eviction, consider applying for an injunction from the court to prevent your landlord from forcibly removing you from the property. Your solicitor can help you with this process. 5. Request a Stay of Execution: If your landlord has already obtained a court order for eviction, consult our Housing solicitors to request a stay of execution, which can temporarily halt the eviction process. If your rights have been violated and you believe you have suffered damages due to an unlawful eviction, you may consider pursuing legal action against your landlord to seek compensation and remedies. Remember that tenants have legal rights and protections against unlawful eviction, and landlords must follow proper legal procedures. Seek legal advice and support from our Housing solicitors in preventing an unlawful eviction and ensuring your rights are upheld.
