Breach of Tenancy Agreement

Nobody wants to fall into a dispute with their landlord but sometimes, despite everyone’s best intentions disputes can take place.

If a tenant breaches a tenancy agreement it is possible that their landlord will try and evict them from the property.

The typical breaches of a tenancy agreement that landlords are likely to seek a court order for possession include;

• Anti-social behaviour – abusive behaviour, excessive noise, graffiti
• Criminal activity at the property – drug offences, prostitution
• Damage to the property – broken doors, broken windows
• Disrepair issues – not keeping the property in good order
• Keeping pets when the tenancy agreement forbids it
• Keeping an uncontrolled animal such as dogs
• Harassment
• Lack of cleanliness – dirty conditions in the property
• Rent arrears
• Sub-letting the property when it is prohibited

Tenants have legal obligations under a tenancy agreement that they must observe. If these obligations are not undertaken then they risk their landlord taking legal action against them.

In cases involving allegations of a breach of tenancy agreement, it is essential to take legal advice from a housing solicitor with expertise in landlord and tenant disputes. This is especially important if your landlord has already issued a Section 8 notice of a breach of tenancy and/or is seeking repossession after serving a Section 21 Notice to Quit, or is seeking damages.
