Tenancies: rent, deposits and end of contract
What is included and what is not promised
Most tenancy disputes resolve with the contract in hand and a properly drafted demand. Going straight to court is slow and expensive when there was still room to close it in writing.
What it includes: reading the contract and each party’s obligations; formal demand with a specific request and deadline; negotiating a payment, exit or renewal agreement. What it does not include: it does not include court eviction or enforcement, which are court proceedings with their own quote.
Documents you will need
- Tenancy agreement and its annexes.
- Evidence of rent paid or unpaid.
- Photographs of the property and the inventory if there is one.

-
Written demand
We ask for the contract, the receipts or transfers and the messages exchanged. Agreed price for the out-of-court stage.

Negotiation
We send the formal demand with the specific request and its deadline, which later serves as evidence.

Agreement or next route
We negotiate a payment, move-out or renewal agreement and leave it signed; if there is none, we tell you which court route applies.

Frequently asked questions
They will not return my deposit.
The landlord must justify any retention. We claim with the inventory and the photographs.
My tenant is not paying.
The demand is the first step and is also needed for eviction. We start there.
Will you act for me as a tenant?
Yes. We act for both positions, never both in the same matter.
