Property Mentor Investment Questions
The following question was recently submitted to our property experts by an individual looking for advice on how to deal with their property let. If you have got a question regarding your tenancy/property, contact us now via the link to the right.
Submit your own questionsCan a disability keep a tenant from getting evicted?
A: By law a private landlord must not discriminate against a tenant no matter their race, sex, religion or disability. Meaning should they refuse to make reasonable changes to their property or a term in their tenancy agreement, which will enable you as a disabled individual to live there, they are in fact breaking the law. This can include refusing to remove their no pets ban to enable you to keep a hearing dog or failing to install a lift or adapt the bathroom...
However, if you have genuinely broken a term in their assured tenancy agreement (falling into rent arrears, damaging the property, taking illegal substances etc), which is unrelated to your disability; if you have done nothing to amend it, unfortunately this cannot keep you from being evicted.
My advice would be, before you sign a tenancy agreement that you sit down with your landlord and list your requirements as a tenant. For instance, what they can do to make paying your rent easier. This should be accompanied by a solicitor who can agree to introduce clauses to the tenancy that can protect both your interests.
