Landlord and Tenant Solicitors

The regulation relating to landlord and tenant agreements is a complex area of law. It is imperative that the landlord and tenant both are aware of their respective rights and obligations. Because failing to comply with the rights and obligation could lead to serious financial and sometimes even criminal penalties. While the law is intended to protect both landlords and tenants, it is, in effect, stopping them from taking matters into their own hands. For example, landlords are unable to evict a tenant without a Court Order for possession. Attempting to remove a tenant by changing the locks to the property could mean a landlord faces up to 6 months imprisonment and/or a £5,000 fine. On top of that, a civil claim for compensation for illegal eviction can also be brought against the landlord.

Therefore, it is crucial that both landlord and tenant agree with the terms and condition of a tenancy agreement from the early stage of the contract term. A poorly drafted tenancy agreement could result in disputes and legal action in the future.




It is therefore prudent to have expert advice from a solicitor to avoid any complication. The common range of services for commercial as well as residential landlords and tenants include:

• Lease renewals under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 together with any tactical considerations
• The interpretation of leases e.g. rent review clauses and service charge provisions
• Exercising break clauses
• Tenant insolvency – rights and remedies
• Rent review disputes
• Advice for tenants who are served with a notice to vacate
• Advice on your legal obligations when first renting a property

• Advice on areas of dispute once a property has been vacated
• Claims for rent arrears and damage relating to the property
