Landlord and Tenant Problems

Commercial Image

There are many reasons why landlords decide to rent properties and while tenants comply with the obligations under the tenancy agreement the relationship is good. However, we understand the strain that is placed on a landlord when problems are encountered with tenants.

 Hewetts provides a comprehensive service for landlord & tenant problems. We act for all kind of clients including property managers, estate letting agents and private landlords.

Examples of landlord & tenant claims might be:

  • Problem tenants - unpaid rent or unreasonable behaviour.
  • Breaches of tenancy agreements;
  • How to bring a fixed term tenancy to an end.
  • How to evict a tenant during a fixed term tenancy or after it has expired
  • Claims by a tenants of unlawful eviction.

Landlord & tenant is a difficult and specialist area of law. We can offer you expert, sound and uncomplicated advice about trying to resolve problems with tenants and in navigating the complex legal requirements when trying to bring a tenancy to an end. We believe that the best results can be achieved by a focussed approach and the ability to negotiate in highly contentious situations.

An early assessment of the legal merits of your case is essential and we will give you a realistic view of your chances of success. We believe that a proactive and cost effective approach will help in finding a successful resolution. We will discuss with you the solutions may result in your case being settled without the need for court proceedings. However, if settlement is not possible we provide focussed support, practical guidance and effective representation drawing on the whole firm’s knowledge and resource to achieve the best results for our clients.

The landlord & tenant team is committed to providing you with the best funding options and we are able to offer a variety of arrangements.

We will discuss your specific options at the outset of our instructions and we will do everything we can to assist in helping you choose the most appropriate route.
