Harassment by Landlord
Any kind of harassment is a criminal offence. Harassment is action taken by your landlord to deliberately disrupt your home life or make you leave. The most common form of landlord harassment is visiting the property without warning and looking around your living quarters. They do not have the right to do this; they should give you proper notice if they are visiting the property.
If they are doing this persistently or do so in a threatening or alarming way you may be the victim of harassment.
It may seem incredibly difficult to stand up to your landlord when you feel they are harassing you but there are remedies available through the courts which can prevent them from abusing their position and harassing you.
Examples of landlord harassment include;
- Allowing the property to fall into disrepair
- Allowing workmen or builders to enter the property without notice
- Denying access to areas of the property (kitchen or bathroom for example)
- Entering the property without prior notice
- Entering the property when you are not present without notice
- Harassing you because of your race, gender or sexuality
- Reading or interfering with your post
- Refusing you from having guests
- Shutting off utilities such as electric, gas or water
- Threatening you
- Withholding keys or changing the locks
