Brewer Harding & Rowe’s Litigation Department is pleased to announce our next Landlord and Tenant Seminar, following the overwhelming success of our previous event. This free morning session is tailored for landlords, letting agents, and property professionals looking to stay informed, compliant, and ahead of upcoming legal reforms.
With significant changes on the horizon for the private rental sector, including the long-awaited Renters’ Rights Bill, this seminar is designed to give you practical insights and legal clarity in a fast-evolving landscape.
What we will cover:
1. The Renters’ Rights Bill: What We Know So Far
This long-anticipated legislation could reshape how landlords operate – including changes to tenancy structures, notice periods, and grounds for possession. We’ll explore what’s likely to happen and when, and how to start preparing now.
2. Selling Tenanted Properties: Possession During Sale
Thinking of selling a tenanted property? We will look at how and when you can seek possession during the sales process, and what pitfalls to avoid when tenants are still in situ.
3. Rent Arrears: Managing and Mitigating Risk
With rising financial pressures, rent arrears are an increasing concern. We will discuss strategies to manage arrears effectively, while staying within the law and maintaining tenant relationships.
4. Unlawful Eviction & Quiet Enjoyment: A Recent Case Study
We will unpack the legal duties of landlords and the implications of breaching a tenant’s right to "quiet enjoyment."
5. The Equality Act: A Compliance Refresher for Landlords
This session will outline how the Equality Act applies in rental situations, with key considerations for avoiding discrimination and making reasonable adjustments when required.
6. Who Can Conduct Litigation? An Update from Mazur v. Charles Russell Speechlys
This case has brought renewed focus to who is legally entitled to conduct litigation on behalf of landlords or agents. We’ll explain the key points and what they mean in practical terms.

Whether you're managing a single property or a large portfolio, staying on top of legal changes is essential. Our seminar offers a chance to:
