Property Litigation Solicitors for Landlords – Leeds & Yorkshire

At Quebec Law Solicitors, we advise commercial and residential landlords across the region on the full range of property litigation matters. Whether you manage a large portfolio of investment properties or own a single residential or commercial unit, our specialist team provides focused, strategic legal advice to help you protect your assets and resolve disputes efficiently.

We combine technical expertise with a pragmatic, commercially-minded approach. Our objective is always to help you achieve the outcome that aligns with your business goals — whether that means recovering possession, protecting rental income, or resolving disputes without the need for formal litigation.

Commercial Landlord Services

We represent commercial landlords in all aspects of estate and leasehold management. Our expertise includes:

• Forfeiture and possession proceedings
• Tenant insolvency and recovery strategies
• Dilapidations and repair disputes
• Contested and uncontested lease renewals
• Applications for consent (e.g. assignment, subletting, alterations)
• Service charge and rent recovery claims

Having acted for both landlords and tenants, we bring a balanced understanding to disputes — helping to anticipate challenges, assess negotiation positions, and implement solutions that protect your long-term interests.

In today’s climate, issues relating to insolvent tenants are increasingly common. Our Property Litigation team works closely with our Business Recovery and Insolvency colleagues to develop coordinated strategies that maximise outcomes for landlords affected by tenant default or administration.

Residential Landlord Services

For residential landlords, we offer clear and effective legal advice to help manage tenancies, enforce lease obligations, and regain possession of property. Our services include:

• Section 8 and Section 21 possession claims
• Enforcement of tenant covenants
• Leasehold enfranchisement and lease extensions
• Recovery of arrears and damage claims
• Advice on regulatory compliance (e.g. deposit protection, HMO requirements)

We aim to resolve disputes quickly and cost-effectively — often through well-drafted pre-action correspondence, negotiated settlement, or mediation. However, where litigation is necessary, we have the experience and technical knowledge to guide you through the court process and secure the best possible outcome.

A Strategic and Commercial Approach

Our process begins with a clear understanding of what you need to achieve — whether that is a smooth tenant exit, resolution of a leasehold issue, or management of a complex property development. Once we understand your priorities, we formulate a tailored strategy to protect your position and move matters forward without unnecessary delay or expense.

In many cases, litigation is not required. Our team often resolves matters through pre-action negotiation, early engagement, or alternative dispute resolution (ADR). However, where court proceedings are proportionate and necessary, we provide strong, technically sound representation at every stage.
