Landlord & Tenant Disputes

Disputes between landlords and tenants – whether residential or commercial – can escalate quickly. From rent arrears and repair issues to breaches of agreement or eviction notices, knowing your rights and acting early can prevent unnecessary disruption and cost. At Pre-Law, we help landlords and tenants understand their legal position, prepare the right documents, and take practical steps to resolve disputes – whether that means communicating directly or starting a formal process.

Dispute Resolution / Landlord & Tenant Disputes

How We Help

We support both residential and commercial clients across a wide range of landlord and tenant issues, including:

  • Initial consultation & guidance – reviewing your tenancy or lease agreement, outlining your legal position, and identifying your options early
  • Rent arrears & payment issues – advising on missed payments, negotiating repayment terms, or taking steps to recover arrears
  • Repair & maintenance disputes – clarifying who’s responsible for what, and helping you deal with disrepair or unreasonable demands
  • Breach of agreement – supporting landlords issuing notices, or tenants responding to allegations of breach
  • Eviction & possession – explaining the correct legal process for ending a tenancy or lease, and assisting with Section 8, Section 21, or forfeiture routes
  • Deposit disputes – helping resolve disagreements over deductions, damage, or tenancy deposit scheme rules
  • Communicating on your behalf – drafting letters or notices to the other party and keeping the process clear and professional

Whether the issue relates to a private tenancy or a commercial lease, we’ll help you take action in a way that’s proportionate, informed, and legally sound.

Things to Consider

It’s worth being clear on a few key points before taking further steps:

  • what the tenancy or lease agreement actually says
  • what evidence you have (e.g. emails, reports, inspection records)
  • whether the issue can be resolved informally
  • whether the correct process has been followed
  • what outcome you’re seeking – and how best to achieve it

We’ll help you work through the detail and decide the right course of action for your situation.
