Landlord and tenant

If you are thinking of renting out any property that you own, as part of the costing process you should always make sure you contact a solicitor to make you fully aware of the common problems that arise for landlords, and the associated obligations. This will help you to budget effectively for any costs that do arise, particularly as the law has changed in recent years to grant tenants more protection than before - for example the new statutory deposit protection scheme. Tenants also have rights to peaceful enjoyment of the property, while this is balanced with the owner's right to enter, and this is sometimes an issue where a room is rented out to a tenant living in your home. A landlord and tenant specialist can help you to draft appropriate tenancy agreements for different types of property or for different types of tenant. For example, a long, but fixed term lease will usually be performed under a different type of arrangement to a shorter term, ongoing lease. Leases for properties such as student accommodation are often constructed differently due to having several people renting different parts of the same property. Landlord and tenant specialists can also offer advice to both parties where there is a dispute surrounding eviction. They can help landlords secure an eviction notice on the property, and the formal legal stages that must take place for them to stay within the law, as well as more straightforward advice on serving notice to tenants who refuse to leave following a rent review or changes to the tenancy agreement.
