Landlord & Tenant Mediation in Devon and Cornwall
Disputes between landlords and tenants — whether commercial or residential — can be complex, costly and damaging to ongoing relationships. Mediation allows both parties to resolve their differences quickly and confidentially, often preserving the tenancy or reaching a clean exit on agreed terms.
What kinds of landlord and tenant disputes can be mediated?
Laurence mediates a wide range of landlord and tenant disputes including rent arrears and rent review disagreements, forfeiture and relief from forfeiture, service charge disputes, lease renewal negotiations under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954, breach of covenant claims, and disputes about the condition or use of premises.
Commercial and residential disputes
Laurence handles both commercial and residential landlord and tenant disputes. Commercial cases often involve lease renewals, break clauses, and dilapidations claims. Residential disputes frequently concern deposit deductions, disrepair, and unlawful eviction. Both types benefit significantly from the flexibility mediation offers over court proceedings.
Why mediate?
Landlord and tenant litigation is slow and expensive. Many disputes — even those that appear intractable — settle at mediation because both parties have an ongoing relationship (or need a clean end to one) that makes a negotiated outcome preferable to a court judgment.
An initial conversation is free and without obligation.
