Can I Throw Out a Tenant Who Is Not Fulfilling Their Obligations?

Home > FAQ > Property Law FAQ's > Can I Throw Out a Tenant Who Is Not Fulfilling Their Obligations?

If you want to take action against a tenant, you must follow the correct procedures. A court order is needed in order to evict a tenant.

Unlawfully evicting or harassing a tenant is a criminal offence, which could lead to fines or even imprisonment. The tenant can also sue you for damages. This is still the case even if they breached the terms of the tenancy agreement.

Seek legal advice in this instance and contact Helix Law’s property specialist solicitors.
