What Is Squatting In Leicester In Leicestershire?

Squatter Eviction Process In Leicester, Leicestershire

A squatter in Leicester can easily be evicted if:

The Leicestershire police feel there is no need for an arrest

The owner of the property in Beaumont Leys, Aylestone, or Clarendon Park is not interested in involving the police

You are living in commercial premises in Leicester

The owner in Leicester can lock you out of the property whilst you are not there.

If you or another squatter are in the property in Leicester, if you refuse to leave, the owner will normally have to get a court order in Leicestershire.

The owner cannot use violence to throw you out of the place because it is illegal.

The owner must send a copy of their possession claim documents via the letterbox or attach it to the front door at least 5 days to the court hearing in Leicestershire (or 2 days for squatters in commercial sites).

The documents must contain the information about place and date of hearing in the court and also defence form.

If you're not a squatter in Leicester, the landlord's argument must be contested.

You can challenge this by giving back the defence form and attending the court hearing in Leicester to provide your side to the story.

However, if the court in Leicestershire rules that you are squatting, they will order you to leave the Leicester property right away.

Failure to do so might cause the property owner to involve the court bailiffs from Leicestershire to evict you.

How Council Help The Homeless In Leicestershire's Leicester

A squatter in Beaumont Leys, Aylestone, or Clarendon Park is generally classified as homeless since they have no right to be staying where you live.

The Leicestershire council should be able to give you advice on where you can find a place to live in Leicester if you're homeless and single.

Based on your priority need, you may get emergency housing from the council in Leicester, for instance, you are vulnerable, expectant or have minors.

However, local council will not be able to assist you in emergency or long-term housing in case you are restricted with residency or immigration status such as asylum seekers in Aylestone, Clarendon Park, or Beaumont Leys.
