If you take legal action against your landlord for issues such as harassment, unlawful eviction, or other housing related problems, the court can provide several remedies and outcomes, including: 1. Injunctions: The court can issue an injunction to prevent your landlord from continuing the harassing or unlawful behaviour. This can be a prohibitory injunction, which prevents them from doing something, or a mandatory injunction, which requires them to take specific actions. 2. Damages: If you have suffered financial losses or personal harm due to your landlord's actions, the court may award you damages as compensation. 5. Injunctions for Access: In some situations, the court may grant you an injunction that allows you to access the property, particularly if your landlord has changed the locks or denied you access. 6. Costs: The court may order your landlord to pay your legal costs, depending on the outcome of the case. 7. Orders for Repairs: If you have raised concerns about disrepair in your rental property, the court may issue an order requiring your landlord to make necessary repairs. The specific remedies and outcomes will depend on the nature of your case, the evidence presented, and the decisions of the court. It is important to consult with our solicitors to navigate the legal process effectively and maximise the likelihood of a favourable outcome. The court's role is to enforce the law and provide a fair resolution to housing related disputes.
