26 May 2026RRO for a banning order breach: tenant claim guide 2026
A banning order stops a landlord letting property. If they let to you anyway, that breach is a qualifying offence for a rent repayment order, and from 1 May 2026 the ceiling rose to 24 months' rent. You can claim even if you were not the tenant when the order was breached, and continuing to let after a council penalty is itself an offence. Here is the tenant claim walkthrough, with a First-tier Tribunal application template.
