Great communication in a emotional stressful time of my life. Lawyers knew their content and provided timely advice. While it wasn't cheap it provided value and allowed me to move on to the next stage of my life. They are down to business - I never physically set eyes on my lawyer but still felt supported. Recommended to anyone who needs legal support.

I recently engaged the services of Alana Pointon to assist with a property settlement and custody agreement with my ex-partner. Going into the process, I had very limited knowledge, but Alana took the time to explain everything in clear, understandable terms, which made a huge difference for me.My ex-partner was extremely difficult to deal with, and there were times when additional legal advice and reassurance were urgently needed—particularly when he became threatening and made concerning comments about not returning my child. Alana handled these situations with calm professionalism, offering sound guidance and unwavering support.She was kind, considerate, and an absolute wealth of knowledge during one of the most stressful periods of my life. During mediation, Alana skillfully negotiated a very fair property settlement on my behalf. I truly felt that she had my best interests at heart at every stage.If you’re looking for a lawyer who is both compassionate and a fierce advocate, I can’t recommend Alana Pointon highly enough. You will not regret choosing her.

Types of Lease Disputes

Rent Arrears or Increases

Sometimes, disagreements come up over rent. Tenants might need help to pay within the time frame, or landlords may want to raise the rent.

It can be challenging to manage these issues.

Experts in the field can step in to make sure everything is fair and follows the lease agreement.



Maintenance and Repairs

Maintenance and repair issues are common in rental properties.

Property managers are supposed to keep the place in good shape, protecting it from wear and tear.

At the same time, tenants should report problems immediately.

But when urgent repairs and maintenance become a consistent problem for the tenant, experts can step in.

Lease Terminations and Evictions

Lease terminations and evictions can be highly contentious matters.

Landlords can evict tenants for various reasons, such as late rent or common lease violations.

However, tenants have the right to contest the eviction so it must be handled correctly from warnings to final eviction notice.


Security Deposits

Disputes regarding security deposits are a frequent source of conflict between landlords and tenants.

Legal help is needed to determine how to handle security deposits and return them when the lease ends.

Solicitors can help tenants recover wrongfully withheld portions of their security deposit or guide landlords in complying with deposit laws.

Breach of Contract

Breach of contract disputes occurs when one party fails to uphold their obligations as outlined in the rental agreement.

These breaches can take various forms, such as tenants failing to pay rent or landlords entering the property without permission.

Lease dispute experts can evaluate the situation and determine if the breach is valid.
