The Landlord team at Tozers Solicitors act for a wide variety of landlords, from social landlords with a mixed portfolio of tenancies and leaseholds of 30,000 homes to letting agents managing tenancies, freeholds and individual “buy to let” landlords.  

The team have many years’ experience across all tenures including assured short holds and Rent Act tenancies. The key members of the team are Sarah Schooling and Jenny Lloyd, both senior solicitors with a wealth of experience between them. They are regularly instructed by their landlord clients to help resolve any tricky tenant situations that arise.

Some of their recent solved cases for Private Landlords include: -

•  A “retaliatory eviction” defence to an accelerated possession claim where the tenancy was pre-1 October 2015 (so the provisions of the Deregulation Act 2015 concerning retaliatory eviction did not apply).

•  A tenant refusing the landlord access for an inspection after concerns that the tenant had trashed the property. An injunction was obtained quickly and relatively cheaply, forcing the tenant to allow the landlord access.

• Defending a resident landlord against an application by the police for a Closure Order against his property. If the application had been successful, the resident landlord would have lost all his tenants, and subsequently his income, overnight.

Tozers Solicitors aim to resolve tricky issues quickly and cost effectively for their clients. They recognise that not all legal problems have simple legal solutions and that some solutions, whilst less risky, are more expensive and time-consuming.  

Most of their clients come to them through personal recommendations or from Landlord Associations and return to them because of the responsive and results-focused service they receive.
