Landlord & Tenant Solicitors
Possession Proceedings, Tenant Evictions, Rent Arrears & Tenancy Agreement Advice
Get in touch
If you are a landlord or a tenant in residential disputes and in need of advice on any matter, contact our experienced landlord and tenant solicitors today and a member of our team will be happy to help
Whether you need to recover possession of your property, deal with a tenant who has stopped paying rent, review your tenancy agreement or understand how the Renters’ Rights Act 2025 affects you, Pepperells’ experienced Property Litigation team is here to help.
The introduction of the Renters’ Rights Act 2025 has fundamentally changed the legal landscape for landlords. The abolition of Section 21 and the introduction of a new legal framework for possession claims mean that landlords need to understand both their rights and their obligations before problems arise.
Our specialist team provides practical, commercially focused advice to landlords at every stage of the tenancy; from preparing robust tenancy agreements through to possession proceedings and court representation where necessary.
Landlord Legal Advice Following the Renters’ Rights Act 2025
The Renters’ Rights Act 2025 represents the biggest change to landlord and tenant law in a generation.
Many landlords are now searching for answers to questions such as:
- Can I still evict a tenant?
- How do I recover possession of my property?
- What has replaced Section 21?
- What happens if my tenant stops paying rent?
- Do I need a new tenancy agreement?
- What are my legal obligations as a landlord?
If these are questions you are asking, you are not alone.
The law has changed significantly, but landlords continue to have important legal rights. The key is understanding how those rights should now be exercised and ensuring your documentation and procedures remain compliant.
Can I Still Evict A Tenant?
One of the most common questions we receive is:
“Can I still evict my tenant?”
The answer is yes, but the legal process has changed.
The abolition of Section 21 means landlords must now rely upon the appropriate legal grounds for possession and follow the correct statutory procedures.
Taking advice early can often avoid unnecessary delays, additional costs and procedural mistakes.
Our solicitors can advise you on:
- Possession proceedings.
- Recovering possession of your property.
- Notice requirements.
- Rent arrears.
- Anti-social behaviour.
- Tenant breaches of tenancy.
- Court proceedings.
- Enforcement of possession orders.
Rent Arrears & Tenant Problems
If your tenant has stopped paying rent or is breaching the terms of the tenancy, early legal advice can often make a significant difference.
We regularly advise landlords regarding:
- Rent arrears recovery.
- Persistent late payment of rent.
- Anti-social behaviour.
- Damage to property.
- Unlawful occupation.
- Tenant disputes.
- Possession claims.
Every situation is different, and we will help you identify the most appropriate legal strategy for your circumstances.
Tenancy Agreements & Landlord Compliance
The Renters’ Rights Act 2025 has made good documentation more important than ever.
Many landlords continue to rely upon tenancy agreements that were prepared before the legislation came into force.
A professionally prepared tenancy agreement can:
- Clearly define the rights and responsibilities of both parties.
- Reduce the likelihood of future disputes.
- Better protect your legal position.
- Support future possession proceedings where necessary.
We also advise landlords on wider compliance obligations and can review your existing documentation to identify potential risks before they become costly problems.
Fixed Fee Landlord Reviews
For many landlords, the biggest risk is not a current dispute, it is being unprepared when one arises.
Our Fixed Fee Landlord Review has been developed to help landlords understand how the Renters’ Rights Act 2025 affects them and identify any areas requiring attention.
The review includes advice on:
- Tenancy agreements.
- Possession rights.
- Landlord compliance.
- Documentation.
- Practical risk management.
Whether you own one rental property or manage a larger portfolio, we can help ensure your arrangements remain fit for purpose.
