Acting for landlords often requires swift, decisive action – particularly when tenant behaviour or compliance issues threaten the stability of a property and the interests of other tenants.
In one recent matter, we acted for a landlord of a multi-unit property where one tenant’s persistent anti-social behaviour was causing distress to others. Several tenants had threatened to leave unless the situation was resolved. We obtained a possession order followed by a bailiff’s eviction, ensuring the matter was brought to a conclusion promptly and allowing the landlord to restore a safe and comfortable environment for the remaining tenants.
In another case, we were instructed to obtain possession in a “no fault” eviction scenario. The process was complicated by the discovery that the property’s Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) had expired, and the original copy had been discarded by a letting agent. Without a valid EPC, possession proceedings could not proceed. By contacting the original energy assessor, we were able to locate a copy of the certificate that had been retained for over a decade, allowing the matter to move forward without delay.
In both cases, the outcomes protected the landlord’s position and prevented disruption to other tenants, demonstrating the value of quick thinking and thorough problem-solving in landlord and tenant disputes.
