Evicting a Tenant: Legal Advice for Landlords
Landlords sometimes need to recover possession of their property where tenants fail to pay rent or breach the tenancy agreement.
While the term “eviction” is commonly used, the legal process usually involves possession proceedings through the courts.
The Legal Practice Solicitors advise landlords on the correct legal procedures to recover possession of their property.
Tenant Not Paying Rent
Rent arrears are one of the most common issues faced by landlords.
The Legal Practice Solicitors advise landlords on legal options when tenants fail to pay rent, including possession proceedings where appropriate.
Breach of Tenancy Agreements
Tenants may sometimes breach the terms of a tenancy agreement through unlawful subletting, property damage or anti-social behaviour.
Our solicitors advise landlords on the legal remedies available in these circumstances.
Landlord Compliance and Regulation
Residential landlords must comply with a wide range of legal and regulatory requirements.
The Legal Practice Solicitors provide advice to help landlords understand and comply with these obligations.
