Are you a landlord?
Have you had to renegotiate rents or service charges with your tenants due to COVID-19? If the answer is ‘yes’ to either of these scenarios then our Property team can help you to ensure your new terms are legally binding.

If you have any queries or would like to discuss this, please contact Richard Hamilton in our Property team via Richard.hamilton@dbf-law.co.uk or call 0161 832 3304.
