Landlord and Tenant Litigation

When a landlord and tenant relationship breaks down, early and clear advice can make a significant difference to the outcome. At Bradberrys, we act for both landlords and tenants in contentious property matters, with a practical focus on resolving disputes efficiently — whether through negotiation, mediation or court proceedings.

We regularly advise on:

• Possession proceedings – Recovering possession of residential or commercial premises, including claims for rent arrears, breach of covenant and unlawful occupation.
• Forfeiture and relief from forfeiture – Advising on the right to forfeit a lease and applications for relief.
• Rent and service charge disputes – Pursuing or defending claims relating to unpaid rent, service charges and other sums due under a lease.
• Lease renewal disputes – Contested renewals under Part II of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954, including Section 25 and Section 26 notices.
• Breach of covenant – Disputes over repair, use, alterations, assignment and other lease obligations.
• Dilapidations – Terminal and interim dilapidations claims at the end of a commercial lease.
• Injunctions and urgent applications – Seeking or resisting interim relief where prompt action is needed to protect your position.

We work closely with our non-contentious landlord and tenant team so transactional and dispute work is handled as one joined-up service where that helps your case.
