Legal Terms – Eviction
The expulsion of a renter or any other occupant from a property. According to the Protection from removal Act 1977, the removal of a home occupier, except through legal proceedings, constitutes a criminal offense. Harassing a residential occupant to convince them to vacate is also an offense (see to harassment of occupant). A mortgagee may take possession peacefully without a court order (Ropaigealach v Barclay’s Bank plc [2000] QB 263). Numerous renters possess statutory protection, necessitating the landlord to demonstrate valid grounds for possession to a court. According to the Housing Act 1988, a tenant is entitled to seek damages for illegal eviction.
The Protection from Harassment Act 1997 permits the court to issue a restraining order against a renter who is harassing a neighbor, potentially necessitating the eviction of the harasser.
