Representative Housing Law Cases
Disrepair claim against landlord
Successfully represented a tenant in a significant disrepair claim involving long-standing damp and structural issues. I secured a comprehensive remedial works schedule alongside substantial compensation for the claimant's suffering and loss of amenity.
Unlawful eviction and harassment
Acted for a residential occupier who had been forcibly excluded from their property without a court order. Through swift legal action, I obtained an emergency injunction for re-entry and successfully pursued damages for the harassment endured.
Possession proceedings defence
Defended a vulnerable tenant against mandatory possession grounds by identifying procedural irregularities in the landlord's notice. My intervention resulted in the proceedings being struck out, ensuring the client remained in their long-term family home.
Homelessness and local authority housing support
Challenged a local authority's decision regarding a family's priority need status under the Housing Act 1996. Following a robust review request, the council overturned their initial finding and provided suitable temporary accommodation pending a permanent offer.
