Assisting clients who have been threatened with possession proceedings forms a significant part of the work undertaken by the housing team at Osbornes.
The advice and assistance we provide is specially tailored to each individual circumstance. This is because there are different laws that apply if you are a tenant of a Local Authority or of a private landlord or if you are a tenant under the Rent Act 1977. Each client has their own particular set of problems and concerns which need to be addressed.
Possession proceedings are
most often brought against people who are experiencing financial
difficulties. In light of this, we focus on assisting our
client not only with the immediate effect of eviction but
also in planning a sustainable way forward to ensure that
the problems do not immediately reoccur. We also deal with
cases where the possession proceedings are brought as a result
of nuisance allegations. Where it is appropriate we will advise
you as to whether you should consider bringing a counter claim
in disrepair
to any possession proceedings instigated.
We offer advice and assistance
to help you resolve your dispute and avoid losing your home.
