Disrepair claims
It is usually in both the landlord’s and tenant’s interests to ensure that residential property remains in good repair. Unfortunately, however, this does not always happen. We act for landlords in resolving disrepair issues with their tenants.
| Tenant disrepair claims
In some cases, tenants let the condition of their home deteriorate beyond usual wear and tear. A minority of tenants willingly cause damage to a property. We can assist landlords no matter what damage has been caused – whether smashed windows, damp properties, broken furniture or ruined carpets.
Our specialist property disputes solicitors are experienced in resolving disrepair disputes on behalf of landlords. We will advise you on the best course of action, and, if appropriate, how best to recover possession of your rental property.
| Defending disrepair claims against landlords
We understand that managing rental properties can be a balancing act. Sometimes, therefore, you might face a complaint from a tenant about disrepair that they say is the landlord’s responsibility. When this happens, we recommend that landlords take specialist legal advice as soon as possible. We can advise you on such complaints and act for landlords in defending any disrepair claims.

| What our clients say
"Worth every penny. Totally delighted with the outcome of my protracted conflict with a problem Tenant. A huge thank you to Connor and Ed in achieving such a small time frame through the labyrinthine judicial paper trail associated with evictions which had previously had me frustrated beyond belief. Cheers guys."
Mr M, Leeds
"We approached Levi Solicitors LLP about highly anti-social behaviour. We are very pleased at the way this matter was successfully resolved by Ed Smith of Levi's Dispute Resolution Department."
Residential property dispute client
The rebuilding of my house went horribly wrong with the main contractor going into liquidation and subsequently a number of defects coming to light. Thanks to Ed I have managed to recover almost half of the cost of the build from the architect who was managing the build - considerably more than I originally expected. I would highly recommend Ed particularly for his grasp of detail in a case involving hundreds of emails, photographs and pages of experts reports.
Mr S, Leeds
"What great service Ed provided me with, the end result was what i wanted. Cheers again."
Mr B, Leeds
"I’d like to thank you again for all your efforts in this case. I have always felt confident throughout that we would reach the right conclusion and it has been seamless. That has been in no little part to your reassurance and diligence along the way."
Mr M, Leeds
"Absolutely delighted with the outcome at court! A massive thank you to Ed Smith and his team for his hard work, professionalism and attention to detail. Highly recommend!"
Mr P, Wakefield
