Landlord and Tenant Disputes
The legislation governing the rights and responsibilities of private landlords and tenants is 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. Meanwhile, uncertainty over the introduction of the Renters (Reform) Bill is leaving both landlords and tenants unsure of where they stand legally, both now and in the future.
With so much change taking place in the private rented sector, it is inevitable that disputes will arise. Where they do, clear, high-quality legal advice is vital to ensure disputes are resolved with the minimum stress, disruption and cost as possible.
That is why the specialist Dispute Resolution team at Attwaters Jameson Hill is here.
We offer sound legal advice to landlords and tenants 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. Our Dispute Resolution lawyers are experienced in representing their clients both in and out of court, with the aim of achieving the best possible outcome.
Our Service Pledge
Disputes with landlords or tenants can be unpleasant, stressful and expensive. For landlords, they can threaten their business and livelihood, whilst for tenants they come with the threat of eviction and potential homelessness.
Our lawyers understand what is at stake; it is why we make a pledge to every client, which we call our Service Pledge. It is a promise that we will never add to your worries by making you wait for a phone call or failing to provide you with an update when we said we would. We promise to be proactive, responsive, communicative and helpful at all times, and to always treat you with the professional respect and courtesy you deserve.
