Revenge Eviction

Revenge Eviction

 

Revenge Eviction – or Retaliatory Eviction – is when a landlord (usually a private landlord) has attempted to evict you after you have made legitimate complaints or asked for repairs to be made to the property. Rather than fixing the issues reported, the landlord chooses to evict the tenant.

 

If your landlord serves you a Section 21 Notice after you have complained about repairs or conditions at the property, the court may refuse to make a possession order against you if the following apply;

 

  • You complained about repairs and/or conditions in writing
  • Your landlord served you a Section 21 Notice after you complained
  • You complained to the local authority
  • The local authority sent a Notice of Improvement or an Emergency Works Notice to your landlord
