Breaches of Lease Covenants

Legal disputes from lease covenants arise in a variety of ways due to there being covenants for both the landlord and the tenant to adhere to this. This means that both the landlord and the tenant can be a victim of a covenant breach. For example, the landlord could fail to adhere to their repairing obligations which the tenant will want a remedy for, or a tenant could fail to pay rent which the landlord would want to be able to remedy. At Wilkes, we provide expert legal services to help you navigate these disputes, protecting your rights and achieving fair outcomes.
