Landlord and Tenant

With today’s spiralling house prices more people are turning to rented accommodation to meet their housing needs. Sometimes this is provided by local authorities or housing associations, but more frequently by private landlords.

Whilst the majority of landlords are familiar with their legal responsibilities many nevertheless overlook the obligations that they owe to their tenants, both during the course of the tenancy and at the end of the tenancy. Sometimes tenants are left in accommodation which is simply not fit for habitation or needs substantial repair. On other occasions they ask tenants to leave the premises at very short notice.
