Unlawful eviction

Being forced to leave your home is upsetting and stressful whatever the circumstances. But if your landlord has evicted you without following the correct procedures, they may have broken the law and you may be able to take action against them.

A landlord may wish to evict you for many reasons but even if you have fallen behind on your rent or have broken the terms of your tenancy, your landlord still has to follow the correct procedures when asking you to leave.

If you believe you have been unlawfully evicted or if your landlord is threatening you with eviction, we can help. Our housing solicitors have a wealth of expertise of dealing with eviction proceedings and will be able to ensure you are treated fairly. You can talk to us in complete confidence and we will answer any questions, explaining what rights you have as a tenant. Importantly, we’ll be on your side to provide the help and support you need. We may also be able to help you make a claim against your landlord if you have suffered injury, distress or damage to your possessions as a result of their actions.

If you think you may have been unlawfully evicted, or are worried about being evicted, we can help. You can talk to our experienced property solicitors in complete confidence and, with our free initial assessment promise, you can quickly get answers to your most urgent questions. Call us today on 01388 881 611 and together we can tackle whatever difficulties you are facing.
