FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions from Landlords and Tenants
How have the Renters' Rights Act 2025 reforms affected landlords?
The reforms have introduced significant changes affecting the residential landlord and tenant sector, particularly in relation to possession rights, tenant protections and landlords’ obligations. Specific legal advice should be obtained regarding your particular circumstances.
Will I have to go to court to recover possession of my property?
Not necessarily, but possibly. Strict legal procedures usually need to be followed when seeking to recover possession of a property. If your tenant moves out voluntarily after receiving the appropriate notice, court proceedings will not be necessary. However, if they remain in occupation, you will usually need to apply to the court for a possession order.
What should I do if my tenant falls into rent arrears?
You should raise the issue with your tenant as soon as possible and try to establish why the rent has not been paid and what proposals they have for bringing the account up to date. Keep a clear record of all communications and payments. If the arrears persist, you should seek legal advice promptly regarding the options available to recover the debt and, where appropriate, regain possession of the property.
What is a dilapidations claim?
Dilapidation claims concern alleged breaches of a tenant’s obligations under a lease, typically obligations to repair, decorate or maintain a commercial property. Such claims usually arise at or towards the end of a lease when the landlord alleges that the property has not been returned in the condition required by the lease.
Can a commercial lease be ended early?
Whether a commercial lease can be terminated before its contractual expiry date will depend on the terms of the lease. Relevant considerations may include break clauses, forfeiture rights, surrender and statutory protections.
