All forms of harassment are considered a criminal offence. Often landlords believe that they have the right to visit their properties without giving the tenant warning but this is not the case and if you persistently do this your tenant could accuse you of harassment and take you to court.
This is the case even if you are attempting to evict a tenant as the only way for a tenant to be legally evicted is by going through court procedures.
Harassment claims can be the result of a variety of reasons, these include;
- Entering the property without giving the tenant a minimum of 24 hours’ notice
- Allowing others (such as builders or workmen) to enter the property without notice
- Entering the property even when the tenant is absent without informing them
- Reading any mail that is not addressed to you
- Preventing the tenant from having visitors or guests
- Continuously harassing tenants for rent (even if it is in arrears)
- Shutting off utilities
- Preventing the tenant from accessing certain parts of the property
- Any kind of threat
