Can I get compensation for illegal eviction?
You can also apply for compensation (damages) through the courts if you were harassed or illegally evicted for the distress, and expense, that this has caused you. The amount of damages will depend on your tenancy type and the behaviour of your landlord.
How can I get an eviction removed from my record?
Win your case: The best way to have an eviction expunged from your record is to vigorously challenge the case in court. An eviction case should be dismissed if a tenant can prove the landlord’s eviction order was sufficiently without basis in fact or law.
What happens if you get evicted for not paying rent?
Evictions can result in negative marks that bring down your credit score. If you didn’t pay the full amount due, your landlord can bring you to court. Once you’re sued for unpaid rent and the landlord wins the case, you’ll have a civil judgment against you.
What to do if your eviction is not on your credit report?
Follow up the status of your dispute in case the credit bureau fails to get back to you within 30-60 days. If the eviction information on the tenant screening report is incorrect, you have to get in touch with the tenant screening company directly. You can also talk to your landlord and settle any debt you have.
How do you prove retaliation in an eviction case?
An eviction case should be dismissed if a tenant can prove the landlord’s eviction order was sufficiently without basis in fact or law. One suggested tactic is to prove retaliation. Perhaps the furnace fried while you were renting the property in question or maybe your landlord blew a fuse after a pet wrecked a new carpet.
