Breach of Contract Tenancy Agreement
Legal Support for Tenants and Landlords Facing Contract Disputes
A tenancy agreement is a legally binding contract—when either the landlord or the tenant fails to meet their obligations, it can lead to a breach of contract with serious legal consequences. Whether you're a tenant whose rights have been ignored or a landlord dealing with non-compliance, understanding your options is the first step toward resolution.
✅ Why It Matters
Breach of contract issues can quickly escalate, leading to rent loss, property damage, or even unlawful evictions. With the right legal guidance, you can:
✅ Enforce the terms of your tenancy agreement
✅ Protect your rights and financial interests
✅ Avoid costly mistakes or unlawful actions
✅ Take appropriate steps to resolve disputes
✅ Common Breaches by Tenants
✔️ Non-Payment of Rent
Failing to pay rent on time or at all is a clear and common breach. Landlords may be entitled to serve notice or begin eviction proceedings.
✔️ Damage to Property
Tenants are expected to keep the property in good condition. Deliberate or negligent damage can lead to deposit deductions or legal claims.
✔️ Subletting Without Consent
Renting out the property or rooms without the landlord's permission can breach tenancy terms and lead to eviction.
✔️ Illegal or Nuisance Activities
Using the property for illegal purposes or causing disruption to neighbors is a serious violation that may justify immediate action.
✅ Common Breaches by Landlords
✔️ Unlawful Eviction
Removing a tenant without serving proper notice or obtaining a possession order is a legal breach and may entitle the tenant to compensation.
✔️ Failure to Carry Out Repairs
Landlords have a duty to maintain the property. Ignoring repair requests or allowing unsafe conditions is a breach of contract.
✔️ Entering Without Notice
Tenants have the right to quiet enjoyment of their home. Entering the property without at least 24 hours’ notice (except in emergencies) is unlawful.
✔️ Withholding or Mishandling Deposits
Deposits must be protected in an approved scheme and returned fairly. Failure to comply can result in legal penalties.
✅ Legal Remedies for Breach of Tenancy Agreement
✔️ Termination of the Tenancy
In serious cases, the tenancy may be ended through legal notice or mutual agreement.
✔️ Compensation or Damages
The wronged party may claim financial compensation for losses caused by the breach.
✔️ Court or Tribunal Action
If informal resolution fails, legal proceedings may be necessary to enforce rights or recover costs.
✔️ Mediation or Negotiation
Dispute resolution outside of court is often quicker and more cost-effective.
