Landlord & Tenant, Mortgage Cases

Sheffield Landlord Solicitors

The Landlord and Tenant Act outlines the position of the landlord and their rights in situations that may arise, as well as protecting the rights of the tenant in circumstances where their position may be threatened. Maintaining a positive relationship between both the landlord and tenant is highly important and can reap many benefits for both parties.

At Alison Law Solicitors, our housing solicitors and barristers understand the needs and priorities of the tenants, as well as the property agents and landlords. For tenants, we understand the importance of having a safe place to live. For landlords, we appreciate that the main priority and concern is to protect the investment and rental income of the property. Ultimately, we aim to prevent problems, but when they do arise; our focus is on resolving the issue quickly and minimising your cost. In most cases we can offer a fixed fee basis starting from as little as £150.00.

Our range of services for landlords starts from setting up a tenancy agreement to recovering possession of a property. Given our extensive experience, we can assist landlords in defending claims arising from tenants.

Tenant Services

On the other hand, whilst the majority of landlords are familiar with their legal responsibilities, many tend to overlook the obligations that they owe to their tenants; whether prior to the commencement of the tenancy, during the course of the tenancy and at the end of the tenancy. Sometimes premises are not fit for habitation or need substantial repair. On other occasions landlords ask tenants to leave the premises at very short notice. We can stop illegal evictions.
