Tenants Breaching Tenancy Agreement

Get a copy of your lease and re-read it. If you can`t find your agreement, you must ask your landlord or agent for a copy. Take out the clauses you think your landlord has broken, and start writing your email/letter… Duncan Lewis can advise landlords on how best to combat a violation of the right to rent, including issuing a notice in accordance with Section 8 in the form of a formal notification of the infringement. The landlord can also request the termination of the lease on a day when the rent is 21 days or more late. In this situation, the landlord must not give the tenant 14 days` notice. Duncan Lewis also has departments that cover most legal areas – such as litigation, family law and criminal law, all of which could be relevant to a case of rental rights infringement. Duncan Lewis is a leading mutual legal firm that is able to advise social housing tenants and private tenants in a wide range of housing cases, including charges of a landlord breaching leases and resisting withdrawal by a landlord. As part of your application, you can try to terminate the lease. You can also require the other person to fix something like a roof leak or pay the rent. You can also claim exemplary damages and compensation that the court can order if appropriate. If the tenant believes that the lessor is in breach of the tenancy agreement, he or she may follow an infringement procedure similar to the one described above.

The tenant can write a letter to the landlord or use the specially designed form: notification to the owner of the breach of contract (form 23). Other acts of a tenant that may constitute a breach of the tenancy agreement are the deterioration of the property, the harassment of neighbours, the harassment of neighbours or the failure to maintain the property. In addition, if a tenant carried out illegal activities in the property, or was arrested for an offence committed in the property, they violated the rental agreement. Under these conditions, representation by real estate lawyers will be essential if you intend to challenge any action by your landlord against you. If you simply leave, when the lease expires, you are violating the obligation to terminate – even if the lease ends, of course – read the termination provisions in the lease. Without notice to terminate it, a lease slips into a periodic lease and therefore you remain responsible for rent payments until you terminate in writing and in the appropriate form.
