Script for the above Video

Yes, you can bring a counterclaim against your landlord if they make a possession claim against you. A counterclaim allows you to assert that your landlord has harmed or wronged you in some way, and you seek legal remedies or damages in response to their possession claim. Common reasons for counterclaims in landlord-tenant disputes can include: • Disrepair :If your landlord has failed to address necessary repairs or maintenance issues, you may counterclaim for compensation or for the required repairs to be carried out. • Deposit Issues: If your landlord has not protected your deposit as required by law, you may have grounds for a counterclaim to recover your deposit or seek penalty compensation. • Harassment: If you have been subjected to harassment or illegal eviction by your landlord, you can counterclaim for damages and protection of your rights. • Unlawful Eviction: If your landlord has unlawfully attempted to evict you without following proper legal procedures, you can counterclaim to challenge the eviction and seek damages. Consult our specialist Housing solicitors to help you properly assert your counterclaim and defend against the landlord's possession claim.
