Residential Landlord and Tenant

Whether you are a landlord or tenant, it is vital that you are aware of your legal rights and responsibilities under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985.

Anyone letting or managing privately rented premises must comply with current legislation and at Kings – Solicitors we can help you with drafting your Tenancy Agreement (the contract setting out the terms and conditions of the tenant living in your property) to ensure that it is compliant and clearly sets out the rights and obligations of both you and your tenant.

If you are renting a property, we can also give you advice on your Shorthold Tenancy Agreement (the most common type of Tenancy Agreement for private tenants) to ensure that the terms are fair and comply with the law.

If you would like us to help you with any aspect of your tenancy, please call into our offices or Contact Us through our website for more information.
