Frequently Asked Questions
Can a landlord evict a tenant immediately?
In most cases, landlords must follow the correct legal procedure before recovering possession of a property. The appropriate process will depend on the type of tenancy and the circumstances of the case.
What should I do if my tenant has stopped paying rent?
Landlords should seek legal advice as soon as possible to understand the options available for recovering rent arrears and, where necessary, regaining possession of the property.
What are my rights as a tenant?
Tenants are entitled to live in a safe property and have legal protections against unlawful eviction, harassment, and unfair treatment. The specific rights available will depend on the tenancy agreement and the applicable law.
