Landlord & Tenant



David Wright

Chris Newsam

As an individual renting a property it can sometimes feel as though your landlord is calling the shots when problems arise with your tenancy.

However, tenants have a number of rights when dealing with a landlord and we believe that early advice when problems such as rent arrears or breaches of the tenancy (perhaps by your landlord) arise is important.

In the majority of cases, notice has to be given before proceedings are started and that is the time to take legal advice on your rights and your landlord's responsibilities.

We can also help with defending possession proceedings and advise you on related housing matters.


As a landlord you will no doubt try to ensure you have responsible tenants who pay rent and abide by the conditions of their tenancy or lease.

Occasionally, problems arise and we offer a full service to all commercial landlords of both individual and business tenants.

Our advice not only includes Tenancy Agreements but also includes practical solutions to common problems including non-payment of rent or breach of tenancy conditions.

As with all areas of our work, we will keep you advised throughout the case of the likely costs involved.
