Although landlords may evict their tenants for a number of reasons they must do so whilst following the correct legal procedure. A tenant who has been evicted without their landlord following the correct procedure has most likely been illegally evicted and is potentially entitled to damages.
In cases where a tenant is facing homelessness as a result of an illegal eviction, they will usually be entitled to Legal Aid to help them fight the eviction, subject to means eligibility.
If a client is not eligible for Legal Aid for a housing or landlord & tenant case, Duncan Lewis may be able to offer a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA).
With CFA housing cases, Duncan Lewis also offers a set fee for the initial assessment of a case so that our customers know exactly what they will be paying.
Our Housing Team at Duncan Lewis solicitors advise both tenants and landlords in housing matters, including unlawful or illegal eviction claims.
Duncan Lewis solicitors will also fight for any damages compensation a tenant may be entitled to as a result of a landlord unlawfully evicting a tenant.
