Tenancy Law for Landlords

The Residential Tenancies Act is written to protect tenants, which is appropriate, and it means landlords start most disputes on the back foot. Knowing where the Tribunal’s discretion actually lies is most of the advantage.

• Tenancy Tribunal applications and hearings
• Rent arrears and termination for non-payment
• Damage to the property, and what is recoverable beyond fair wear and tear
• Terminations, notice periods and retaliatory notice allegations
• Healthy Homes and compliance obligations
• Boundary, access and land law issues affecting rentals

When to call: before serving notice. A defective notice restarts the clock and can look retaliatory.

The first conversation costs nothing and carries no obligation. Get in touch and you will get a straight answer about where you stand.
