At Crombie Wilkinson, we understand that there is a lot to consider and have in place when it comes to renting a property. As a landlord, you have a responsibility to ensure the property meets all the relevant regulations and you and your tenants have the right paperwork in place. And as a tenant, you need to know your rights and what responsibilities you have as a tenant.

There are times when a dispute occurs between a landlord and tenant, our landlord and tenant dispute solicitors can offer legal advice to resolve the situation.

Contact our Landlord and Tenant Solicitors for more information.

Our Landlord and Tenant Dispute Services

Legal advice on Tenancy Agreements

When letting your home, you will want your property to be rented to trustworthy tenants and looked after properly, but you also need to ensure that legalities are in place. Our landlord solicitors provide straightforward legal advice on tenancy agreements.

 

Tenancy Deposit Schemes

The Tenancy Deposit Scheme, introduced in 2011, offers protection for tenants, landlords, and letting agents in England against the risk of losing money. Our tenancy deposit claims solicitors can advise on the legal implications of these schemes and other tenancy laws and Acts, such as the Section 22 Landlord and Tenant Act of 1985.

 

Serving Notices

When a tenant falls behind with the rent or breaches the terms of the tenancy, it is important that landlords use a solicitor who has expertise in residential landlord and tenant dispute resolution. We offer a landlord service that will help landlords to recover unpaid rent and evict tenants who breach their tenancy agreement by serving the right notice.

By law, a landlord can serve:

  • 2 months’ notice under section 21 of the Housing Act 1988
  • Section 8 notices for rent arrears or other breaches of residential tenancies, e.g. rent arrears or nuisance
  • Notices to end Licences to Occupy
  • Section 25 notices to end commercial tenancies
  • Section 146 notices where tenants have breached the terms of commercial tenancies
  • Forfeiture of commercial premises

Court Proceedings

We understand that dealing with legal matters can be stressful, and we will always try to make your experience as straightforward as possible. From informing tenants, trespassers, and squatters of the date of eviction through to the actual hearing at court when the need arises. Our expert landlord lawyers will represent you efficiently and effectively.

 

Debt Recovery

If you are a private landlord and have experienced rent arrears, our pragmatic legal advice on debt recovery may be able to help resolve the situation, and should court be the only option, our expert landlord lawyers will be with you every step of the way.

If you are a landlord seeking legal advice over a dispute, or a tenant looking for a resolution to an escalating issue, contact our Dispute Resolution solicitors.
