Landlord and tenant disputes

Disputes can arise between landlords and tenants regarding a number of issues such as repairs, rent arrears, refunds of deposits and anti social behaviour.

It is often possible to resolve a dispute through mediation.

If a landlord and tenant dispute has arisen it is important that both parties first seek advice on their legal rights and responsibilities so that they can make an informed decision on how to proceed.

Often mediation from a third party can help resolve the dispute and a number of agencies in Brent may be able to assist.
