The social housing team at Cobden House Chambers features expertise in possession claims and anti-social behaviour cases. Gary Lewis has notable experience in representing landlords, and of recent note, he successfully represented the defendant landlord in a case regarding the Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Act 2018 and an alleged breach of the defendant’s obligations to their tenants due to presence of large amounts of mould in the rented property; the tenant was found to have cause the mould, so the landlord was not liable. Lucie Wood is another key name, and she frequently represents clients before the County Court, the High Court, and the First-tier Tribunal; her expertise extends across unlawful eviction claims, anti-social behaviour, and succession disputes.
