If we find out that one of our tenants or leaseholders has broken one of their tenancy conditions, we will consider taking legal action to repossess the property. Usually before any legal action is taken, a formal warning is issued to the person causing the nuisance. If this fails we can apply to the County Court for a Possession Order to evict your neighbour or for an Injunction, ordering the person committing the nuisance to stop.
- We will have to produce clear evidence to the Court
- We are only able to attempt legal action where the case is serious and where there is sufficient proof to pursuade the Court to make the order we are seeking
- To pursue legal action it is crucial you record detailed evidence of the nuisance, including dates, times and details. Nuisance Record Sheets are available from us
- Both you and any other witness involved must expect to be called to give evidence in any case, unless there are exceptional reasons not to do this
At all stages of the process we will be happy to offer advice and assistance, whilst keeping you informed of what action is being taken. By working together we can ensure you enjoy the comfort of your home within a pleasant living environment.
If you wish, you can take your own legal action in the County Court to stop the nuisance. It is always best to seek the advice of a solicitor before proceeding. You may wish to also contact your local Citizens Advice Bureau to find out more about taking legal action.
