Stephen Wood Mediation

Disputes between residential landlords and tenants often arise concerning rent, disrepair, damage, anti-social behaviour, deposits, guarantors, letting agents, rights and obligations.

There are good reasons why these difficulties should be resolved at an early stage:

• rental income can continue
• occupation can continue
• a tenant can maintain their housing security
• litigation can be avoided

Mediation, in contrast to litigation, can often achieve a mutually beneficial result through flexible solutions which the Court can not provide for.

The commercial starting point of mediation is usually better suited to residential property disputes than the strictly legal one.

Call Stephen Wood for an informal chat to discuss whether mediation could be suitable for your dispute.
