Specific things to know

  • We need the tenant's explicit consent to act
  • We can't proceed if the tenant lacks capacity unless you have appropriate authority

Real, published cases

We do not publish our own client figures. Instead, you can read real, published statutory rulings against named landlords, with the compensation each was ordered to pay and a link to each source.
