Tenant Legal Services – Quebec Law Solicitors, Leeds
At Quebec Law Solicitors, we support tenants across Leeds and West Yorkshire in navigating disputes with landlords. Whether you're facing eviction, withheld deposits, harassment, or issues with property disrepair, we’re here to protect your legal rights and act fast where necessary. We provide strategic legal advice that’s easy to understand, practical, and designed to achieve results.
Every tenant has a right to a safe, secure home. If your landlord is failing in their legal duties, we’ll help you take action with confidence. From initial advice to full court representation, we tailor our support to the needs of your case—always with your best interests in mind.
Deposit Disputes
Your landlord must protect your deposit in a government-approved scheme and provide details within 30 days of receiving it. If they fail to do this, you may be entitled to compensation—up to three times the deposit amount. This applies even if you’ve since left the property, so long as the tenancy ended within the past six years.
We specialise in tenancy deposit claims and regularly act on a No Win No Fee basis. If you suspect your deposit wasn’t protected correctly—or not returned at all—our solicitors can investigate, calculate your entitlement, and submit a robust legal claim on your behalf.
Eviction Notices & Possession Proceedings
Whether your landlord has issued a Section 8 or Section 21 notice, it's vital to check if it complies with the law. Many notices are served incorrectly or without valid grounds. We’ll review the notice, explain your rights, and advise you on how to respond—ensuring you’re not forced out unlawfully or too soon.
Should the matter proceed to court, we’ll handle the process from start to finish, including preparing statements, correspondence, and appearing with or on your behalf. We act quickly to secure the best possible outcome and protect your housing rights.
Harassment & Unlawful Possession
It is illegal for a landlord to force you out without a court order. Harassment—such as changing the locks, cutting off utilities, or entering the property without permission—can amount to criminal conduct. If your landlord has taken matters into their own hands, we’ll act quickly to stop it and pursue legal remedies.
We may be able to secure an emergency injunction to stop the behaviour and seek compensation where appropriate. You have a right to live peacefully in your home, and we’ll work to ensure those rights are upheld without delay.
Property Disrepair & Housing Standards
Landlords are legally obliged to maintain rental properties in a safe and liveable condition. That includes addressing damp, mould, broken heating, unsafe electrics, and pest infestations. If you've reported issues and your landlord has ignored them, you may be entitled to compensation or repair orders.
We help tenants enforce their right to live in decent conditions. Our team can send formal letters to your landlord, liaise with environmental health, and take court action if required. Let us help you restore your home to a proper standard.
