Being a landlord carries both prestige and responsibility. Housing law in England and Wales is lengthy and complex. As a result, mistakes can be costly, especially if a tenant refuses to follow the tenancy agreement or stops paying rent.
Successful landlords act quickly. They recognise problems early and seek legal advice straight away. Taking action at the first sign of difficulty saves time, money, and unnecessary stress.
If tenants fail to pay rent or behave in an anti-social way, you may need to take legal action. I can assist you in lawfully regaining possession of your property and recovering rent owed.
If you face an accusation of unlawfully evicting a tenant or mortgagee, I can provide a strong defence on your behalf.
I also defend landlords against claims that a property has not been properly maintained.
Tenants can sometimes feel vulnerable or insecure when problems arise with their landlord. However, the law provides strong protections. By seeking legal advice early, you can often resolve disputes before they escalate.
If you face eviction or have already been removed from your home, you may still have legal remedies. I can assist you in defending possession proceedings and protecting your rights.
If your landlord fails to maintain your home properly, you may have a claim. Landlords must meet statutory duties to keep properties in a safe and habitable condition. I regularly assist tenants in bringing disrepair cases against landlords, including local councils.
Noise, litter, harassment, and other anti-social behaviour can severely affect your quality of life. If you experience such issues from neighbours or your landlord, I can help you take action to stop the problem.
