Challenging your eviction

You may be able to challenge your eviction if the section 21 or section 8 notice is not valid, or if you have a good reason why you shouldn’t leave your home.

You may also be able to challenge your eviction if you have been discriminated against by your landlord. This is mainly covered by the Equality Act 2010 (Part 4). Examples of discrimination are if your landlord is evicting you because of your race, gender, religious beliefs, disability, or because you have complained about discrimination before. If you believe your landlord is discriminating against you, you should seek advice.

You must wait until you receive court papers before challenging your eviction. If you do not leave your home by the date on section 21 or section 8 notice, your landlord will need to go to court.
