Legal Advice For Landlords and Tenants

Legal Advice For Landlords and Tenants

We specialise in working with residential landlords and pride ourselves on providing proactive but cost-effective advice. We regularly advise our clients on all landlord and tenant issues and are experienced at dealing with problem tenants, including eviction, as well as tenancy agreements, and disputes. The private rented sector is subject to an increasing amount of rules and regulations including the tenancy deposit scheme and it is important that landlords remain fully up-to-date.

The law that governs tenancies is full of pitfalls for landlords. Make a mistake when dealing with your tenants, whether in drafting documents or in your ongoing treatment of your tenants and you could find yourself in litigation. Follow the correct procedures on the other hand and the role of a landlord is straightforward. Due to our experience of landlord and tenant law will be able to put you on the right track, potentially saving you time, money and stress down the line.

The main type of tenancy for private landlords in England and Wales is the assured shorthold tenancy. This gives the landlord the right to terminate the agreement after six months.  As long as the correct legal procedures are followed, we can obtain possession of your property quickly and often without the need to attend a Court hearing which ensures that your legal costs are kept to a minimum.

If your tenant is in arrears with rent then action needs to be taken quickly to obtain possession of your property to prevent you losing money.  We offer a fast and efficient service to ensure that your investment is protected.
