Landlord and Tenant Articles and News
The contractual relationships between landlords and tenants are highly regulated. Landlords have significant obligations to their tenants, in relation to the maintenance and upkeep of the property, as well as the way in which they hold the tenant’s deposit. The tenant of course has obligations to pay rent and to keep the property in good order. It is not unusual for the relationship between landlords and tenants to become strained and to break down. In these circumstances, whether you are a landlord or a tenant, it is important to take legal advice about your rights and obligations. We have helped landlords and tenants to negotiate disputes for many decades. Whether you want to challenge and eviction, to remove a non-paying tenant from your property, to force your landlord to repair the property, or to recover unpaid money that you are owed, our expert solicitors can help.
