Landlord and Tenant Disputes

The relationship between landlord and tenant can sometimes result in a need to seek legal advice.

There are many situations where either a landlord or a tenant may require advice, and there is a raft of legislation covering the rights and obligations of each party, which can result in this being daunting or overwhelming.

How can we help you?

Landlord and tenant legislation, rights and remedies is a complex area that often requires very careful examination to ensure all proper steps are being taken.  Failure to act correctly can come with some fairly serious consequences (for instance, failing to take the proper steps before forfeiting a lease of a property or evicting a tenant may be a criminal offence).
