Rent Repayment Orders

Rent Repayment Orders (RROs) are a powerful legal remedy designed to hold landlords accountable for unlawful practices and to protect tenants’ rights. At the same time, they are an essential compliance consideration for landlords facing claims.


At ELS Legal, our experienced team provides clear, practical advice and representation to both tenants and landlords, ensuring RRO matters are handled fairly, efficiently, and with the strongest possible case strategy.

When Can an RRO Be Made?

Unlicensed Properties

Letting out a property without the required licence (e.g. HMO licence).

Breach of Housing Regulations

Failure to comply with housing standards, such as health and safety or overcrowding requirements. 

Illegal Evictions

Unlawfully evicting or harassing a tenant.
