Rent Arrears – Deposit Not Protected By The Landlord – Disrepair Issues However Never Reported To The Landlord – Section 8 Notice – Matter Taken To The Court – Outcome

The court ordered to vacate the property in 28 days and allows the tenant file separate defence

Interesting story:- The tenant was in rent arrears of six months (approx). Upon the landlord’s approach, the tenant denied any communication – by having no option left, the landlord approached us for eviction. Section 8 notice served and matter taken to the court. On the court hearing date, the tenant appeared in the court and pleaded disrepair issues and claim for not protecting the deposit. We defended that no defence pleaded before the hearing and the defendant admitted the arrears too. Upon our effective litigation and case preparation, we managed to secure the following best result for our landlord client:-

Tenant to vacate the property in 28 days Tenant has got liberty to file any further defence for money claim..
