Simple Legal Services for Landlords
Nayyars Solicitors offer a variety of legal services for landlords, including evictions, rent arrears recovery, and defending from housing disrepair claims.
Defending Housing Disrepair Claims
As a landlord, you are responsible for ensuring that your property is properly maintained and fit for purpose. Your property may be considered unfit for purpose if it has any kind of infestation, a fault in the sewage or drainage system, or poses a health and safety risk to the tenants.
You are expected to fix any of these problems if they arise, and failure to do so in a reasonable time may result in the tenant being able to make a housing disrepair claim.
Fortunately, it is possible to defend against these types of claims, and you should contact us right away if you believe their case is unfair or flawed.
Rent Collection
Nayyars Solicitors can help you collect and manage rent from your tenants, taking the hassle out of one of the more complicated aspects of letting.
Whether you have issues with rent arrears or simply want peace of mind when it comes to payday, our rent collection service is a safe, controlled way to guarantee rent payments and is overseen by qualified property solicitors.
Section 8 Possession Claims
If you want to evict a tenant for breach of contract or rent arrears, you may be able to issue a Section 8 notice to evict them from the property.
If you can prove a serious breach of contract – like rent arrears – you have mandatory grounds for possession, and the court will order the tenant to leave.
But before that happens, you need to fill out a ‘notice seeking possession of a property let on an assured tenancy or an assured agricultural occupancy’.
Nayyars Solicitors can help guarantee your property rights and guide you through filing a section 8 possession, making a stressful process much simpler for you.
Frequently asked questions
As of 17 May 2023, the new Renters’ Reform Bill banned Section 21 no-fault evictions, making it harder to evict tenants without a valid reason, such as rent arrears or property damage.
Fortunately, our team of expert solicitors can help you legally and effectively evict a tenant and reclaim your property, providing specialist advice and guidance throughout the process.
When trying to evict a tenant, you must post an advanced notice, but delivering this yourself may not be feasible or even possible if the tenant refuses to answer the door.
If it’s inconvenient for you to visit the property, or you’re worried about a confrontation, you can ask us to serve a notice and record the delivery to support your case.
Tenants may sometimes pay their rent late or, in rare cases, refuse to pay rent altogether, and it can be difficult to get the rent owed.
Fortunately, we offer a variety of rent collection services, and can help you resolve the issue without having to issue a formal notice or take your tenants to court, saving you time and hassle.
