Repairs

Problems of disrepair on sites might be susceptible to action as a statutory nuisance under the Environmental Protection Act 1990. Alternatively, although they have less obvious protection than council tenants in conventional housing, it may be possible for Gypsies and Travellers to rely on the express or implied terms of any licence agreement. Unfortunately, many residents are put off from taking action by their lack of security of tenure and their fear that they may be evicted.
