Burys Solicitors acted for a landlord seeking possession of their property on multiple Section 8 grounds, including rental arrears and conviction of a serious offence. The tenant failed to vacate the property and Court Proceedings became necessary.
The tenant brought a counterclaim against the landlord, totalling £250,000.00. At trial, the tenant’s counterclaim was dismissed in full. The landlord was awarded immediate possession of the property, including a judgment for the rental arrears and legal costs.
This case demonstrates that even in complex circumstances, landlords can regain possession when the correct legal steps are taken.
Burys Solicitors acted for a landlord seeking possession of their property due to the tenant, and other occupiers, anti-social behaviour. This behaviour was causing a nuisance and annoyance to the neighbourhood. In these circumstances, it is important for neighbours to support the possession because they have direct knowledge of the anti-social behaviour. As part of the claim process, Burys Solicitors were able to access Police records and call-logs.
At trial, the landlord was granted suspended possession on the strict basis that the tenant corrected their behaviour.
Ultimately, the case was returned to Court months later to seek immediate possession of the property which was granted. The landlord was able to take possession of his property.
