Eviction Court Order Guidance
Summary
If you are facing an eviction court order due to alleged rent arrears, its important to understand your rights and gather evidence to challenge the claim. Notice 8 typically relates to rent arrears under the Housing Act 1988. If you believe the rent arrears are incorrect, review your payment records and gather evidence, such as text messages from your landlord agreeing to a reduced rent. While the written contract holds weight, evidence of a verbal agreement can support your case. Misrepresentation occurs if a false statement induces you to enter a contract. If you have a text message indicating a lower rent agreement, it can serve as evidence. Consider consulting a housing advisor or legal expert for guidance on presenting your case in court.Full Conversation
I have been given an eviction court order
I'm sorry to hear that, ****. Eviction can be a stressful process. Could you tell me if the eviction is due to rent arrears or another reason? This will help me provide more relevant information for your situation.

So it won’t go against my favour that it is in the contract to pay that amount?
Case Rating: *
Since you have evidence of an agreement for reduced rent, it may help your case. However, the written contract typically holds more weight unless you can convincingly demonstrate that the agreement was amended. Consider consulting a housing advisor or legal expert to strengthen your defense. Would you like more specific guidance on preparing for court?

I don’t have an agreement just my landlord saying ‘I don’t have to pay the full rent, it is just to show housing agents that it has better value for selling’ as he was trying to sell at the time
Case Rating: *
****, having text messages from your landlord stating that you don't have to pay the full rent is helpful. However, without a formal agreement, the written contract still holds weight. Gather all evidence and consult a housing advisor or legal expert to strengthen your case. Do you need assistance with preparing for court?

What’s an example of misrepresentation
Case Rating: *
An example of misrepresentation could be a landlord falsely stating that a property's rent includes all utilities when it doesn't. If a tenant relies on this statement to sign the lease and later finds out the truth, it could be grounds for a misrepresentation claim.
