Hoarding for Housing Lawyers - Practical & Evidential Considerations

Introduction

Hoarding in social housing presents a challenging environment for legal professionals to negotiate. Quite often, the hoarding is associated with mental ill-health. Commencing legal action requires careful consideration of the proportionality of all actions within a landlord’s legal toolkit, taking into consideration the Equality Act duties of social landlords.

The aim of this virtual classroom seminar is to explore the legal framework in which social landlords can take action; the evidence that you will require to achieve a successful outcome and an opportunity to consider the proportionality of actions and evidence required.

This session is suitable for legal representatives who represent social landlords and any involved in taking enforcement action on behalf of social landlords.
