Unacceptable behaviour destroys communities and costs registered social landlords disproportionate sums of money to manage. All too often housing providers overlook the solution which is found within the tenancy agreement.

We have advised a number of organisations in relation to the design and content of their tenancy agreement, ensuring that terms agreed are clearly set out and in clear plain English. Our work has also been widely received in that we assisted the Housing Corporation and the National Housing Federation in respect of the Sections 13 and 14 crisis. We are contributors to the current Best Practice paper circulated by the Housing Corporation and have advised a number of housing associations on amending their agreements after proper consultation.

We currently undertake many injunctions, most of which are dealt with on a "without notice" basis and all of which have to date been successful. We will meet your staff and the residents adversely affected within 24 hours. In most instances, we will present cases to the court and seekan injunction within 48 hours.

Our team provides emergency back up services, ensuring that the order is served immediately, along with any other documentation required, such as a notice seeking possession. Tenants and/or staff supporting you are informed at all stages of the progress of the case and are given copies of the relevant orders in the event of a potential breach. Orders are also served upon all other relevant agencies.

In many cases, having obtained an injunction, nuisance possession proceedings are required. In such cases, witnesses are interviewed and evidence prepared to comply with the Court Rules. Proceedings are issued on an emergency basis and the court encouraged to accelerate the hearing date. In relevant cases, an injunction is obtained to cover the period required for the possession proceedings.
