Components of Legislation

  
1st October 2015 this legislation will be enacted  
 
The Landlords associated costs of Tenancy Eviction could be increased significantly by the resulting spurious counter claims. PIMS predicts within two years this legislation shall be further revised for the way it has been drafted, it is wide open to abuse and will result in an increase in legal aid expenditure. This is because failing to repair shall be construed as act of Harassment as defined by Unlawful Eviction Act, which is a criminal offence.
 
SUMMARY OF NEW LAW
NEW- Preventing retaliatory eviction
