Landlord & Tenant Disputes

When navigating life in a new environment, one of our foremost challenges is securing suitable accommodation. Often, as newcomers to the UK, we find ourselves grappling with unfamiliar British laws, leaving us susceptible to exploitation by landlords or agents.

Who dictates the deposit amount? Must rent be prepaid for an entire year? Why is bidding required for property rentals? And does UK law permit such arrangements?

On the other side of the coin, landlords frequently face tenants who consistently pay rent but neglect property upkeep as stipulated in the lease. They may also harbour an excessive number of pets or poultry without landlord consent. Letting agents involved in subletting and property management can add further complexity. Promised rents may not always reach property owners, and tenancy agreements might lack the necessary legal framework between tenants and landlords. In such cases, who bears responsibility? How can we pre-empt such occurrences?

Engaging a trustworthy solicitor can offer invaluable peace of mind, and Perilli & Ho stands out as the ultimate solution for you! Should you encounter any tenancy disputes, do not hesitate to reach out to us directly.
