Under the Protection from Eviction Act 1977 tenants are entitled to bring claims for compensation when they have lost their homes as a result of unlawful eviction action. The staring point for compensation is the value of the property with a tenant and the value of the property without it. If the value of the property with a tenant is deducted from the value of the property without a tenant then the difference is the starting point for damages. This can run to tens of thousands of pounds.
