Renting a Property

The increase of the buy to let market has seen an increase in those needing prompt and pragmatic advice in all aspects of being a Tenant.

The key to a successful relationship with your Landlord is knowing your rights before you enter into a tenancy. That is why it is vital that you see a solicitor before you agree your Landlord’s terms.

The Tenancy Agreement is an Agreement between Tenant and Landlord. It doesn’t have to be in writing, but it’s a good idea if it is. Otherwise arguments can start and it’s your word against theirs.

Andrew Burrows, Partner at Tinsdills says:

“We can check that the Agreement is a legal binding document, explain the provisions for the payment of rent, service charge and repairs, advise on the deposit and any restrictions in the tenancy, and any rights of access to the property that the Landlord may be trying to keep.

We can also consider what may happen if you want to end the tenancy, what notice your Landlord has to give you and under what circumstances you can be evicted from the property.

As with all things, sometimes the Landlord and Tenant will disagree. We offer advice on how to negotiate with the Landlord and ensure that your position is protected.

At Tinsdills we offer a complete service including advice on entering into agreement, your rights during the tenancy and what happens when it comes to an end.”
