Obtaining Possession
We regularly act for both residential and commercial landlords in recovering possession of premises let under an assured short hold tenancy, a licence, a long lease or a commercial lease.
The main reasons for seeking possession of property or forfeiture of a lease include:
- rent arrears
- that the fixed period of the tenancy has come to an end but the tenant has not vacated
- that the tenant is in breach of any one of their obligations under the lease or tenancy agreement
- that the landlord requires the premises for redevelopment
This is a complex and heavily regulated area of law. A failure to follow the correct procedure not only delays an application for possession but can invalidate the whole process. Wrongful re-entry by a landlord without a court order can give rise to claims for damages by the tenant for unlawful eviction and trespass.
We believe that in a lot of these cases it is important to act quickly and effectively. Our experience in these cases enables us to do both.
To speak to someone who can help with obtaining possession of property or forfeiture of a lease or any other commercial litigation claim call, email or request a call back from one of our specialist lawyers.
