And then you'll never be able to rent again. At least through a letting agent, which is how most rentals occur.

  I'd love to know why this is down voted, because it is unequivocally true. Nearly all letting agents (probably all?) in the UK vet potential tenants and will run various forms of check, including credit checks. They will also ask for previous addresses, and if previously renting, will demand a reference from the previous agency and landlord.

    (Not legal advice.) Someone giving you a bad reference, or refusing to give a reference, because you won a legal case against them is generally the kind of thing that could get another legal case started.

      On what grounds? If the previous landlord gives truthful reference (i.e. no slander and nothing illegal) when asked, including the trouble they had to go through to evict you, there's nothing to sue them over. But that information alone would be very useful input for my decision on whether to lent to you or not.
