The announcement follows a recent court case in which a landlord’s attempt to regain their property was deemed invalid.
Residential Landlords Association (RLA) has announced it is campaigning to protect the rights of landlords to repossess their properties.
The announcement follows a recent court case in which a landlord’s attempt to regain their property was deemed invalid due to a dispute over a gas safety certificate.
After the case, it is said that the landlord was initially granted an order to repossess the property using Section 21 powers, with the tenant successfully appealing because they were not provided with a gas safety certificate prior to moving in.
Despite the landlord making this available once the tenancy had begun, the Court ruled that their Section 21 powers were invalid, referring to a previous similar case in which the certificate was made available less than two weeks after the tenant moved in.
