Landlord and Tenant Advice
Legal advice for landlords and tenants in Barry, Vale of Glamorgan
Passmores Solicitors are experts in all areas of property law. If you are a landlord then we can guide you through the ever changing legal requirements. For tenants in rented accommodation we can offer advice on your rights and help keep a roof over your head.
Property investing has become increasingly common throughout the UK in the past decade. As rented accommodation makes up such a large part of the housing sector, the Government is continually reviewing and changing the laws affecting landlords and increasing the rights of tenants.
Unfortunately problems do arise when renting a property and it is important to protect yourself. Laws are in place that give tenants and landlords certain rights and govern eviction procedures. Passmores Solicitors can provide advice regarding all housing issues from both a Tenant's and Landlord's perspective.
As a tenant, trying to juggle debts and rent payments can be difficult and lead to problems with rent. It is important that you are aware that laws are in place to protect you from becoming homeless, especially if you are a vulnerable person.
If you are a Landlord then Passmores can advise on all aspects of renting out property to ensure the best possible relationship between you and your tenants. We can advise you of your obligations and rights as a Landlord.
Landlords
There are many legal issues facing Landlords, and the most stressful and lengthy procedure is often the process of evicting a tenant.
At Passmores Solicitors we are able to offer a service that will guide you smoothly through the eviction procedure, starting with drafting and serving the correct notice to quit the tenancy, through to any court hearing, bailiff action and recovery of unpaid rent.
It is always advisable to seek guidance before attempting to evict tenants. A wrongly worded notice or application can lead to months of delay, and any behaviour seen as threatening could even lead to jail.
Tenants
There is no reason to face homelessness alone. If, for example, your landlord wants you to leave your house or flat because they want to sell it, move in themselves, or because there are unpaid rent arrears then laws exist that make sure you are dealt with fairly.
If you want to know what your rights are then our housing team will be able to advise you on the next step to take should you be faced with eviction.
Passmores can advise you on the Council’s liability of finding you somewhere to live and on private lettings including finding organisations that will provide bonds and furniture.
Passmores Solicitors offers both Landlords and Tenants a friendly and professional service. If you live or work in Barry, Cardiff or the Vale of Glamorgan and have a housing issue then ask to speak to one of our specialists on 01446 721000 today.
