Landlord doesn't win due to being out of pocket, time wasted, stress etc. There are 2 losers but the real loser is the tenant with the CCJ against their name and difficulty of obtaining credit, tenancy, anything where you have to give a financial commitment. Plus the associated stress and time wasted trying to get your life back on track.What does this achieve on the landlords part? It costs about £60ish to submit a claim and you may end up paying it back at £1 a week, but what will happen you will get a CCJ against your name. This will stop you obtaining credit in the future and the next time you go to rent a property this will show up on the credit check. Landlord wins
Agreed, there are also knobend landlords who need shooting (and I bet they don't pay tax on the income).
