Landlord–tenant disputes often arise from breaches of tenancy agreements, such as non-payment of rent or failure to comply with terms. Common resolution steps include:
- Notice of Breach – the landlord issues a written notice to the tenant demanding rectification of the breach within a specified period.
- Negotiation or Settlement – parties may attempt to resolve the issue amicably through discussions or mediation.
- Legal Action – if the breach continues, the landlord may initiate:
- Distress Proceedings – to recover outstanding rent through seizure of tenant’s movable property, or
- Eviction Proceedings – to recover possession of the premises.
- Tribunal Claims – in certain cases (e.g., housing or commercial tenancy disputes within jurisdiction), claims may be filed with the relevant tribunal for a more cost-effective resolution.
We assist landlords and tenants in pursuing fair outcomes, whether through negotiation, tribunal processes, or court proceedings.
