Landlord and Tenant

Over the last ten years, the laws governing the relationship between the Landlord and Tenant have developed, mainly in favour of the Tenant, giving the Tenant additional rights and placing more obligations on the Landlord. 

A Landlord breaching the Tenant's rights can have serious consequences and it is important to ensure that you fully comply with your legal obligations as a Landlord. When things go wrong, we assist both Landlord and Tenant in reaching a resolution. These can involve court proceedings, particularly if the Landlord is seeking to recover the property from the tenant. 

Unfortunately, we have over the years found Landlords seeking to instruct us at the final hearing stage only to find that there is a technical deficiency in their paperwork meaning the process of recovering the property has to start again from the beginning. We, therefore, encourage you to seek independent legal advice at an early stage to ensure you do not find yourself in that situation.
