Claims for non-payment of rent cover rent arrears and related eviction actions in residential tenancies. A solicitor handles disputes where a tenant owes rent or where a landlord seeks to recover unpaid rent and/or possession. They draft and respond to court papers, negotiate repayment plans, prepare statements of truth and witness evidence, and apply for possession or warrants for possession in the county court, often under the Housing Act provisions. Proceedings focus on recovering arrears and enforcing tenancy obligations.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The key stakes are ensuring timely recovery of overdue rent and upholding the tenant’s or landlord’s legal rights within a time-sensitive court timetable, including potential eviction if unpaid rent remains due. The process may involve deadlines, warrants for possession, and possible discovery of paid or disputed sums, with regulatory protections around regulated tenancies and court procedures.
