Drayton Garden Village

Pavement Damage - Costs Recovered

The Challenge

Pavement damage costs recovered It is not fair when unsociable behaviour and bad tenants disrespect the covenants and regulations over and over again and it can cause unprecedented levels of stress and anxiety. Lease regulations and covenants are there for a purpose and there are things that can be done. Continual parking abuse, mounting pavements and causing damage to paving slabs, along with noise nuisance was upsetting residents at Drayton Garden Village.

The Solution

Ringley Law worked with the Client and sought an injunction to stop the pavement damage. As a result sufficient damages were obtained to pay for the pavement damage and the tenants moved out.

Too Many Cars!

The Challenge

To play fair, you can only park as many cars as you have spaces for on-site. Stands to reason, and you would think everybody could understand that. Visitors parking is scarce and often visitors must park off-site.

The Solution

In this case, an action was started against the owner of the property whose tenants were flagrantly breaching the rules, day after day, night after night. And, not one car at a time - typically 3 or 4. Once the landlord understood that our Client was serious, they used our action to start taking breach proceeding against their tenants. This resulted in the tenants moving on and Ringley Law's costs being covered by the owner. Hopefully, with getting better tenants next time, this owner will make sure their Agent is clear on how many spaces come with the property and also get a previous landlord reference!
