The Facts

Why landlords need integrated legal support

Lettings law evolves rapidly, from possession routes and deposit rules to licensing, safety standards, and rent recovery. Compliance failures or oversights can cause delays, invalidate notices, and invite counterclaims. With Complex 360, you have a single point of contact to review documents and processes, take swift action on breaches, and keep your properties occupied and revenue secure.

The law

What legal frameworks apply?

As a landlord, you need to navigate a range of laws and regulations, including the Housing Act 1988 (Section 8/21), Deregulation Act, HMO/licensing frameworks, and deposit protection rules, as well as obligations around the safety and condition of your property. If disputes arise, valid notices, prescribed information and regulatory compliance are essential to upholding your rights.

The risks

What happens if I get it wrong?

Without specialist legal support on your side, you run the risk of prolonged disputes, rent arrears and void periods, and you may also be exposed to penalties or tenant counterclaims. With Complex 360, you have expert property lawyers just a phone call or email away, to give qualified advice whenever you need it. We help you minimise legal disputes and resolve them efficiently when they do occur.

Frequently asked questions

If you don’t find the answer to your question here, get in touch with us and we’ll be happy to help.

What’s the fastest route to regain possession?

It depends on the specific nature of the dispute with your tenants. We’ll review your evidence and timeline, as well as taking into account your compliance with statutory obligations, in order to plan the best course of action. Once we’ve agreed on a strategy, we’ll prepare Section 8 (breach/arrears) or Section 21 (no-fault) notices and court papers promptly, and advise you on accelerated routes if available, so you can regain possession of your property within the shortest timeframe possible.

Can I pursue rent arrears and possession at the same time?

Yes, with Complex 360, you can pursue both strategies in parallel where it’s appropriate to your case. We’ll manage both processes to minimise the impact on your time, preparing notices, evidence and court papers as well as securing enforcement via High Court Enforcement Officers, attachment of earnings, or charging orders. We can also review guarantors and deposit deductions to optimise recovery.

How do allegations of disrepair affect my claim?

If your property has fallen into disrepair, it can impact your ability to regain possession and, in some cases, lead to rent arrears. Complex 360 can help you move swiftly from disrepair to compliance, working on your behalf to coordinate inspections, arrange for remedial works to take place, and document all actions in case they are needed as evidence later. We’ll defend or negotiate any counterclaims brought by your tenants while keeping your possession on recovery proceedings on track.

What if my deposit paperwork isn’t perfect?

Incorrect paperwork or failure to protect tenant deposits in an approved scheme can create a roadblock when it comes to repossession claims. If you’re not sure you have everything in order, speak to Complex Law before serving any notices. We’ll audit your documents for compliance and advise on fixing defects, returning deposits if necessary, or adjusting strategy to protect the claim. We can also implement improved processes and templates to prevent similar issues from recurring in future lets.

Can you help with HMO and licensing issues across a portfolio?

Yes, many of our clients rely on Complex 360 to ensure compliance across multiple properties within a portfolio. We’ll map your properties, identify the relevant licensing requirements, and liaise with local authorities on your behalf to rectify any gaps or omissions. Our team can assist in aligning or updating safety certificates and records. We can also develop reusable templates and renewal calendars to ensure future compliance.
