A rental dispute can put pressure on an investment property and the people who depend on it. The right response starts with what the lease requires, what has happened and what each party is seeking.
Reviewing the lease and the dispute
Etienne considers the lease, payment records, notices and correspondence. He assists with unpaid rent, alleged breaches, cancellation disputes and claims arising from a lease. Advice is also available to tenants responding to demands or court proceedings.
Choosing a practical response
The available steps may include negotiation, a demand, a payment arrangement or court proceedings. Etienne explains the legal requirements and the practical value of pursuing a claim, taking the evidence, amount involved and likely costs into account.
Cancellation and possession
A dispute about payment and the right to remain in a property may require different legal steps. Where recovery of possession is necessary, Etienne assesses the basis for an eviction application. Cancelling a lease or demanding that someone leave does not itself authorise their removal.
Recording a resolution
If agreement is reached, its obligations should be clear: what must be paid or done, by when, and what follows if the terms are not met. Etienne assists with recording the arrangement and considering its enforceability.
