This CPDcast will be particularly useful to barristers in the early years of tenancy and to solicitors who deal with landlord and tenant possession claims. It identifies issues to look out for and provides practical guidance.
In this CPDcast, we interview Georgia Bedworth, a barrister at Ten Old Square on the subject of landlord and tenant possession claims. The interview covers the practical steps to go through when dealing with a claim. The most common forms of tenancies are discussed in detail, including those protected under the Housing Act 1988 and public sector tenancies. The rules relating to notice are also covered and the common pitfalls identified.
