Breach of Tenancy covers when a tenant or landlord fails to comply with the terms of a tenancy agreement for a dwelling. It includes issues such as rent arrears, violating covenants (like keeping the property in good repair), subletting without permission, and unauthorised alterations. A solicitor in this area helps with drafting notices, advising on available remedies, and, if needed, pursuing or defending possession and damages claims in the county court. The work is shaped by the tenancy contract, relevant housing legislation, and eviction or enforcement procedures.
Why this work is usually handled by a solicitor
A solicitor will typically handle notices for breach (for example, a breach of repair or rent arrears), advise on enforcement options, and prepare and present court or tribunal documentation to recover possession or claim damages. They operate within regulated practice, with professional indemnity and conduct rules guiding the process.
