Areas of Law

Are you facing challenges in your landlord-tenant relationship? Do you find yourself entangled in deposit disputes, eviction proceedings, or issues related to housing disrepair and neighbourhood conflicts? RKM Law understand the complexities and frustrations that can arise in these situations. We act for both landlords and tenants to protect their rights and resolve disputes efficiently and fairly. We have wide-ranging experience in landlord-tenant law and can provide tailored solutions.

Landlord-tenant disputes occur mostly when there are rent arrears, breaches of tenancy agreements and disagreements over rent deposit. It is very crucial for both tenants and landlords to read their agreements respectively and negotiate to the extent that both parties are satisfied. Once a tenancy agreement is signed there is no going back or pleading ignorance. There are different level of protection for tenants and landlords which are subject to the type of tenancy agreement in place.

Every tenant provides a security deposit before renting a property. Disputes over security deposits are all too common in the world of renting. Tenants may feel unfairly charged for damages, while landlords may struggle to recover legitimate expenses. RKM Law can assist in negotiating fair resolutions or representing your interests in deposit dispute proceedings. We understand the importance of protecting your financial interests while upholding legal obligations.

Eviction is often a last resort in landlord-tenant disputes, but when necessary, it requires careful adherence to legal procedures. Whether you are a landlord seeking to regain possession of your property or a tenant facing eviction, we can guide you through the process, ensuring that your rights are respected and that proceedings are conducted lawfully. We have successfully challenged unlawful eviction as well as enforcing eviction. Eviction is not the end but can also turned into a negotiation between landlord and tenant to avoid unpleasant experience and legal costs.

Tenants have a right to live in properties that meet certain standards of habitability. When landlords fail to address issues such as dampness, pest infestations, or structural defects, tenants may be entitled to compensation or repairs. RKM Law advocate for tenants affected by housing disrepair, holding landlords accountable for maintaining safe and livable accommodations.

Disputes between neighbours can quickly escalate, causing significant stress and disruption to daily life. Whether the issue involves noise disturbances, boundary disputes, or disagreements over shared amenities, our firm can help facilitate constructive communication or pursue legal remedies when necessary. We understand the importance of preserving neighbourhood relations while protecting your rights as a property owner. The most common one is when one neighbour requires access to the other neighbour’s land for construction or repairs. Sadly, many neighbours refuse access unreasonably and this leads to legal proceedings. In our most recent case, our client was refused access to his neighbour’s land for repairs of his property. After 4 years of struggle, RKM Law secured access through legal proceedings ending in just over £20,000 of legal costs for the unreasonable neighbour.
