A lease agreement between a landlord and a tenant serves as a contract that both sides sign up to. Renting a property, whether it’s a small inner-city apartment or a large house in the country, for an agreed price and an agreed period of time, is of course something that happens on a regular basis up and down the country. It seems a relatively straightforward process, yet it’s something that often leads to disputes that can at times seem impossible to solve.
If you’re a landlord, your overall intentions are to receive a regular payment in rent and to have a property that’s kept in a clean and habitable condition at all times. There are plenty of occasions, however, when a tenant may fail to keep up the rental payments, or may not keep the property to the required standard. For the landlord, having to deal with such situations can be difficult, lengthy and expensive.
This is when a legal specialist can offer valuable support and assistance. Here at MML Law, we’ve got the experience and the know-how to help you in your hour of need. A lease agreement represents a commitment to an ongoing relationship between landlord and tenant, and when both sides keep up their ends of the bargain everything can run smoothly. When that doesn’t happen, however, legal proceedings can become a viable option.
We’ve been involved in all aspects of the landlord and tenant relationship, including drawing up lease agreements, applying for relevant licences, debt recovery, conflict resolution, evictions and more. We work on behalf of landlords who have just the one property and others who own and manage a portfolio of flats and houses in a number of locations. Our attention to detail and our determination to help clients achieve the best possible outcome make us the perfect choice for any landlord looking for legal representation.
One of the problems with landlord and tenant disputes is that they are capable of getting out of control extremely quickly. By doing nothing about the situation, the chances are it will only get worse. As time goes on, resentments build, opinions become entrenched and a complex problem simply becomes more complex. Bringing in a hard-working, dedicated legal specialist is surely a must.
