Landlords may have options including rent recovery action, negotiated payment arrangements, or possession proceedings depending on the circumstances.
What are my rights as a tenant if my landlord refuses to carry out repairs?
Tenants may be able to pursue legal remedies where landlords fail to meet their repair obligations. Early legal advice can help identify the best course of action.
Can a commercial tenant renew their lease?
Many commercial tenants may have statutory rights to lease renewal, although this depends on the terms of the lease and the circumstances of the tenancy.
What is a dilapidations claim?
A dilapidations claim relates to alleged breaches of repair obligations under a commercial lease, typically arising at the end of the tenancy.
