Are you facing an anti-social behaviour injunction or possession proceedings?

Paula Suckley - Housing SolicitorIf you are being accused of causing a nuisance or have engaged in behaviour which is considered to be anti-social, then it may be claimed that you have breached the terms of your tenancy.

If this is the case then your landlord may seek either an anti-social behaviour injunction or a possession order.

If your landlord takes court action then you have the right to defend yourself. This will involve you providing the court with a full defence explaining the situation.

Burd Ward Solicitors can assist you throughout the process and if necessary represent you at the court. If there is a breach of your tenancy agreement but the court considers that no further breaches will take place, then the court may be willing to order a suspended possession order.

This will allow you to remain in your home so long as you abide by the terms of the order, for example, not to engage in anti- social behaviour.

It can be easy to simply ignore all of the letters and court papers coming through your door, however this will only make the situation worse.
