Forfeiture

Landlords may need to seek early, specialist advice where the tenant is in breach of their obligations. Examples include rent or service charge arrears, unauthorised sub-letting and disrepair.

A landlord may conclude that they need to forfeit a lease (and therefore bring it to an end) where the tenant has breached their obligations.

In these circumstances, a landlord will likely need to act promptly to protect their rights. We regularly advise landlords and their agents on an appropriate strategy to safeguard their interests and to protect their investment.
