Landlord & Tenant Law

We advise landlords and tenants on tenancy matters, from drafting agreements to resolving disputes.

Tenancy relationships can run smoothly for years, or they can turn into disputes over rent, repairs or possession. We advise both landlords and tenants, helping resolve issues fairly and, where necessary, through the appropriate legal process.

For landlords, we can also help put solid tenancy agreements in place from the outset to reduce the risk of disputes later on.

Whether you're a landlord managing a portfolio or a tenant facing a dispute, getting advice early often prevents a manageable disagreement from turning into a drawn-out legal problem.

Services Within Landlord & Tenant Law

The relationship between landlord and tenant is governed by a mix of the tenancy agreement itself and statutory protections, particularly for residential tenancies. Getting the tenancy agreement right at the outset can prevent a great many disputes further down the line.

Possession proceedings, where a landlord seeks to regain their property, must follow a specific legal process, including serving the correct notice. Getting this process wrong can delay a case significantly, so it's worth having it checked before serving notice.

Tenants also have obligations, and repair issues in particular are often a source of dispute — landlords generally have a responsibility to keep a property in good repair, but the specifics depend on the terms of the tenancy and the nature of the issue.
