Unlawful Eviction & Loss of Property Claims

Your need...
 

You may be presented with a claim for unlawful eviction following the termination of a tenancy, incorporating a claim for loss of belongings and personal effects. Abandoned properties (and property) can result in confusion for housing staff; the wrong decision can lead to expensive mistakes, which can damage reputation and morale.

How we can help...
 

We have advised clients in terms of the policies and procedures to adopt in respect of properties considered unoccupied; when it is necessary to apply for a possession order, and when a property might safely be treated as ‘surrendered by operation of law’; and how to deal with possessions remaining in the property.

Trust us...
 

We have regularly and effectively resolved disputes for clients where items have been incorrectly disposed of, mitigating damages, limiting losses and preserving reputation.
