Tanfield’s barristers are highly experienced in residential possession proceedings. We frequently act for landlords and tenants in assured shorthold tenancy, social housing, Rent Act, mortgage, and forfeiture possession claims. We are also accustomed to dealing with common associated issues, such as housing disrepair and tenancy deposit counterclaims and relief applications.
Our members are familiar with the various statutory regimes which give security of tenure to residential occupiers and are able to assist at every stage of the possession claim process, from advising on notices, procedure, and evidence to drafting proceedings to representation at hearings.
Members have particular expertise in dealing with possession claims against former licensees and also “squatters”, including on an urgent basis.
