Breach of Tenancy Agreement
If you are a landlord it is important to check on a regular basis that your tenants are complying with all of their obligations under your agreement with them. If you are the freehold owner you do not want the actions of your tenant affecting the value of your freehold. Alternatively you do not want to find yourself in breach of your own head lease if you yourself are a tenant as well as being a landlord.
We regularly advise landlords in connection with tenants' breaches of their covenants. In particular we can help take action against the tenant to ensure they put the breach right within a reasonable time.
Examples of typical breaches include:
- non-payment of rent or a service charge
- breach of user covenant
- breach of alienation covenant
- breach of a covenant against assignment or subletting
- the carrying out of unauthorised alterations
Once you are aware of a breach it is important to seek advice and not simply to ignore it. You might otherwise find that you have agreed to changes you had not intended to agree to.
