Possession claims and tenancy disputes,
streamlined.
Landlord and tenant law spans residential possession, commercial disputes, and advisory work. Obiter gives you structured workflows for every scenario — from urgent possession orders to complex commercial lease renewals.
The Landlord & Tenant challenge
Landlord and tenant work is deceptively procedural. A Section 21 notice served without the correct prescribed information, a Section 8 notice citing the wrong ground, or a missed 1954 Act deadline can invalidate months of work and expose the firm to a negligence claim. Beneath the headline legal issues lies an unforgiving administrative layer that most practice management tools simply ignore.
Section 8 and Section 21 notices must be perfectly drafted to be valid
Court possession claims have strict procedural requirements
Deposit disputes need careful document management
Commercial lease renewal negotiations are complex and protracted
Disrepair claims require detailed schedule of condition management
