Working with a landlord and tenant dispute lawyer

There are many reasons why you may need the advice of a landlord and tenant dispute lawyer. Our landlord solicitor team has helped resolve many disputes involving:

Repairs

If you are a commercial tenant, you should be aware that most commercial leases contain full repairing and insuring clauses, which means you will have the responsibility for carrying out necessary repairs to the property and paying the premium on the landlord’s building insurance policy.

However, these clauses can vary. At Jones Whyte, we will be careful to ensure that we look out for these variations when we are assisting you in a dispute. For instance, it may be that yours is an internal repairing lease, under which you are only responsible for repairs to the interior of the building.

Dilapidations

Disputes can arise between a commercial landlord and tenant when the lease expires. If you are a landlord, you are entitled to serve a schedule of dilapidations on the vacating tenant. This will outline defects and areas where repair is needed. The tenant has a duty to leave the property in the same state in which they first found it. Where the tenant disputes what they are responsible for, the specialist solicitors at Jones Whyte can help.

Alienation

A commercial tenant has no right to surrender their interest in the lease unless they are granted a specific right to do so. Being aware of this is essential, whether you’re the landlord or the tenant. If a commercial dispute has arisen as a result of this clause, the dedicated solicitors at Jones Whyte can help.
