Housing Law Advice
Help with housing law for landlords and tenants in Sussex
Housing law covers issues relating to residential tenancies, such as the terms of a tenancy agreement, possession claims and housing conditions. A good landlord and tenant relationship is vital – not least as it involves someone’s home. Our expert housing law solicitors help individual and groups of tenants as well as landlords of all sizes to try and resolve issues fairly and efficiently for all concerned. Because our housing solicitors choose to act for both landlords and tenants, we have a broader experience of housing legislation litigation than those housing solicitors who advise solely on tenants’ rights or landlords’ rights. That means clients get an expert service from their housing solicitor every time.
Our experience tells us that it is normally necessary to have a face-to-face interview with our housing clients in order to provide the best possible service. It is for this reason that we can only act for housing clients based in Sussex.
Housing solicitors for tenants
Our housing law solicitors have many years experience helping tenants defend their housing rights with practical and cost-effective housing law advice. We can advise on the full range of housing issues and housing legislation including tenancy deposit disputes, disrepair, unlawful eviction and defending possession action. If we cannot satisfactorily resolve your situation through negotiations with your landlord we can represent you in Court proceedings.
Housing lawyers and solicitors for landlords
We help small private landlords with one or two properties, as well as landlords and agents with very large property portfolios. We can help with all housing law issues including:
- Taking possession proceedings against tenants for rent arrears or anti-social behaviour;
- Complying with tenancy deposit regulations and drawing up comprehensive tailor-made assured shorthold tenancy agreements.
We will also ensure you comply with all contractual and statutory obligations during and at the end of a tenancy agreement.
We regularly represent landlords in Court proceedings. We also train landlords, estates and letting agents on best practice policies with regards to housing rights and housing legislation to ensure they offer a professional service to their tenants and do not fall foul of housing legislation.
