Landlord and Tenant Disputes
The legislation governing the rights and responsibilities of residential and commercial landlords and tenants are complex and ever changing. Many landlords feel that the ground is constantly shifting beneath their feet, and that the legal landscape is making it increasingly difficult to do business.
On the residential side of things, the Renters (Reform) Bill promises sweeping changes to the private rented sector, including the abolition of Section 21 (no-fault) evictions. Meanwhile, commercial landlords are facing new legal obligations to ensure the homes and properties they lease are more energy efficient in the face of new EPC ratings requirements.
Whether you are a private or commercial landlord, specialist legal advice is becoming ever more necessary to ensure that you are in full compliance with regulatory requirements. Even with the best of intentions, however, disputes can arise.
That is why the specialist Dispute Resolution team at Attwaters Jameson Hill is here.
We offer sound legal advice to landlords to help them understand their rights and responsibilities relating to a broad range of matters and clarify their position in disputes. Whilst we always endeavour to assist both parties in arriving at a satisfactory agreement, we understand that this is not always possible.
