Cyclical Maintenance and Access Injunctions
More about cyclical maintenance and access injunctions
At Forbes, we have a strong understanding of the housing sector and the challenges it faces in managing the risks to health and safety posed by gas, electric, fire safety, asbestos and legionella, as well as in relation to gaining access for carrying out repairs to property.
We advise landlords of the nature and extent of their regulatory and legislative duties, offering informed guidance as to best practice and the steps to be taken in ensuring compliance with the relevant standards of the regulatory framework and satisfying their legal obligations.
We have a dedicated team that is on hand to tackle any difficulties that landlords may encounter in trying to gain access to tenanted housing stock for the purposes of inspection and repair, including annual gas safety checks and routine risk assessments. We are well adept at seeking a wide range of legal remedies in this regard, from applications for injunctions and forced access orders through to claims for possession.
We have extensive experience of conducting policy and procedure reviews and work closely with landlords to develop effective processes that address issues arising from the need to access tenanted properties.
At all times we adopt a collaborative approach to this practice area working alongside landlords to help them discharge their duties in as efficient and effective a way as possible.
We also strive to keep landlords abreast of developments in the law in this ever-changing sector, through our comprehensive training offer.
