Landlord & Tenant Obligations

Landlord and tenant law is a vast sector governed by a host of statutes. There are countless obligations and procedures to adhere to which call for an in-depth understanding of the relevant legislation and a finger on the pulse of the latest case law.

Failure to follow the correct procedures, or acting in a way that deviates from any essential aspect of the relationship between tenant and landlord, could lead to costly disputes.
