Below are some common questions we are asked about landlord and tenant disputes.

My tenants are always late paying rent – can I evict them?

Evicting a tenant can be stressful, but you can rely on our Residential Landlord and Tenant Disputes Solicitors to manage the process. We encourage mediation to resolve payment issues, but if necessary, we will help you legally evict the tenant using a Section 21 or Section 8 Notice, depending on the situation.

My landlord refuses to fix certain things in my house – can I force them to make repairs?

Your landlord must repair the property’s structure, basins, sinks, baths, sanitary fittings, heating, hot water, gas appliances, electrical wiring, and any damage caused by repair attempts. We can negotiate with your landlord to ensure repairs are made without damaging your relationship.

What can I do if my landlord refuses to return my deposit?

Your landlord must place your deposit in a government-backed tenancy deposit scheme. If you disagree with the deductions, contact the tenancy deposit scheme for dispute resolution. If the deposit is not in an approved scheme, you can bring a claim in the County Court to get your money back.
