It is illegal for a landlord
to obtain possession of a residential property without firstly
obtaining a Court Order for possession and then a warrant
for eviction. A landlord who removes a tenant
without following this procedure may be guilty of a criminal
offence and liable in damages to a tenant. Osborne's
Housing department specialise in obtaining damages against
landlords who attempt unlawful eviction and robustly defend
and enforce tenants rights to peaceably enjoy their home.
