How we arrange the first meetingFrequently asked questions
Which lease terms deserve attention before signing?
Permitted use, duration, rent and adjustments, deposit, repairs and handover. Recording the condition of the premises helps reduce later disagreements.
There is unpaid rent. What should I gather?
The lease, amendments, payment records and a month-by-month list of outstanding amounts. Include correspondence about payments or issues with the property.
I want to leave early. What needs review?
The lease terms, type of use, reason for leaving and communications so far. Any handover arrangement should clearly address keys, outstanding sums, deposit and condition of the property.
These are general answers. Appropriate action depends on the facts and deadlines of each matter.
