  1. Landlord-Tenant Disputes. How to Solve Them Landlord-Tenant Disputes can turn into a messy affair and go on for a long time if they are not properly handled. Most relationships between landlords and tenants are usually good, but sometimes this relationship can be affected for a number of reasons.

The following lines outline some effective ways to handle any landlord-tenant disputes. www.alfred-james.com solicitors@alfred-james.com

  2. Determine Your Rights as Landlord or Tenant Prior to taking any steps, you should first find out what are the rights that you have as a tenant or landlord. Both the landlords and tenants are assigned legal rights and responsibilities they must abide by when renting or leasing property. When you know your rights, it becomes possible to quickly handle the situation and avert the issue from going any further. If you have to resolve any disputes, it starts by understanding where exactly you stand. The professional lawyers at Alfred James & Co Solicitors LLP can help you properly understand your rights and obligations as a tenant or landlord. Talk About the Issue with Your Landlord or Tenant Rather than moving the issues straight to the court, the smartest thing that you can do as a landlord or tenant is to sit and discuss the matter. This creates a great opportunity for both parties to vent out their concerns and clear everything out between the two. The landlord can discuss the issues he/she has with the tenant, similarly, the tenant can share the issues he/she has with the landlord. Most landlord-tenant disputes can be simply settled by following this method. When one can hear and understand the other person’s perspective, it becomes possible to find common ground and settle the issue. Litigation If the above two ways don’t resolve the dispute, the last resort will be going to the court. Litigation is not only a complex and lengthy process but will also cause you time and money. The result of the dispute will either be determined by a judge or jury and at times can help parties focus their minds and reach an amicable settlement before a court hearing. If you are currently under a landlord-tenant dispute and wish to resolve the matter as quickly as possible, don’t hesitate to ask for advice from our legal experts at Alfred James & Co Solicitors LLP. We are always ready to help. Source - Landlord-Tenant Disputes. How to Solve Them www.alfred-james.com solicitors@alfred-james.com
