Claims Relating To Tenancies
In addition, the team regularly advises clients who are threatened with eviction, ensuring that they are properly protected and kept fully informed. At competitive rates, we handle:
- Succession and other tenancy rights claims
- Possession claims
- The defence of anti-social behaviour claims where eviction is sought
- Deposit claims where all or part of a deposit has been withheld
From our experience, we know that many tenants are reluctant to pursue claims against landlords because of cost concerns. When you come to see us, we will explain our fees and any other charges you may be responsible for in detail. Remember, we will advise you to make a claim only if we think you have a good chance of winning.
We will carry out a risk assessment that will often involve a visit by one of our solicitors to establish the condition of your home. If we think the prospects of success are good, we may be able to act on a no-win, no-fee basis.
