Short Residential Tenancy Disputes

We are pleased to announce a new Short residential tenancy disputes guide, with detailed commentary including rent arrears, noise nuisance and anti-social behaviour and deposit disputes. Repossession proceedings are stepped through in detail when acting for the landlord and acting for the tenant. Tribunal and court proceedings are discussed, as well as the current impact of COVID-19.

The comprehensive matter plan is divided into two folders; Acting for the landlord and Acting for the tenant. Precedents that practitioners will find useful include:

• Letters and notices to tenants in breach of their tenancy agreements;
• Letters and enclosures for a rent repayment plan;
• Letters and enclosures relating to the use of a deposit protection dispute resolution scheme;
• A library of carefully drafted common possession notices under both s 8 and s 21 of the Housing Act 1988;
• A full suite of litigation letters and documents, and example content for claim forms and defences.

This Short residential tenancy disputes guide is an invaluable resource for practitioners who regularly conduct landlord and tenant matters, as well as those with limited experience or those supervising junior lawyers.

We invite you to explore the new guide. Comments and feedback are always welcomed.
