Frequently Asked Questions
General information can help you prepare. The documents and circumstances of your tenancy will determine the advice that applies.
A deposit dispute usually concerns proposed deductions, damage, rent arrears, cleaning or the return of money at the end of a tenancy. The agreement, check-in evidence and deposit protection records are often central to the position.
Changing locks, removing belongings, threatening a tenant or preventing access without the proper legal process may raise serious concerns. The tenancy type, notice history and immediate facts should be reviewed promptly.
The route may depend on the tenancy and the reason for possession. Section 21 and Section 8 involve different requirements, grounds and procedures, so a notice should be checked before any further step is taken.
You may benefit from advice when a notice has been served, money is disputed, access has been restricted or court action is being considered. Early review can identify missing evidence and avoid an avoidable procedural mistake.
