What is the typical process for resolving a landlord and tenant dispute in London?

The process usually begins with a review of the tenancy documents and pre-action correspondence. If negotiations do not resolve the issue, matters may proceed to mediation or court. Legal guidance helps manage evidence, deadlines, and remedies to achieve a fair outcome.

When should I consult landlord and tenant solicitors about a tenancy dispute?

You should seek advice as soon as a dispute arises, particularly when notices are served or breaches occur. Early legal input clarifies your rights, options, and risks, helping avoid costly errors.

How do possession and eviction proceedings work?

Possession proceedings usually start with a valid notice followed by a court claim. If granted, a possession order may be enforced by bailiffs. Legal support ensures procedures are followed correctly and rights are protected.

Can rent arrears disputes be resolved without going to court?

Yes. Many rent arrears disputes are resolved through negotiation, repayment plans, or agreement on recoverable sums, avoiding court costs and delays where possible.

What is the difference between a landlord and tenant solicitor and a barrister?

Solicitors manage advice, correspondence, negotiations, and preparation of cases. Barristers are often instructed for advocacy at hearings or complex legal arguments. Both roles may be used depending on the case.

How long do landlord and tenant disputes usually take to resolve in London?

Timescales vary. Some disputes resolve within weeks through negotiation, while court proceedings may take several months depending on complexity and court availability.

What should I prepare for a tenancy dispute hearing?

Prepare tenancy agreements, notices, rent statements, correspondence, payment records, and a clear timeline of events. This documentation helps present your case clearly and effectively.

What remedies are available in landlord and tenant disputes?

Available remedies may include possession orders, eviction, payment of rent arrears, damages, or injunctions. The appropriate remedy depends on the facts of the dispute and the parties’ legal rights.
