Q&As

We have issued a claim for repossession of residential property and monies owed under a maintenance or agency verbal contract. The defendant is not a tenant nor has he ever been and is therefore trespassing. We wish to apply for summary judgment. Under CPR Part 24.3(2)(a)(ii) we cannot apply for summary judgment if the defendant is a tenant or person holding over after the end of his tenancy whose occupancy is protected within the meaning on the Rent Act 1977 or the Housing Act 1988. Is a trespasser protected within the meaning of Rent Act 1977 or the Housing Act 1988?
