The Sherrards Real Estate Litigation team recently advised client RGM properties in relation to their property portfolio.
One property in the portfolio had a Rent Act tenant, but it was suspected that the Rent Act tenant no longer resided at the property. A claim was issued on the basis of abandonment. However, papers were served suggesting the tenant was returning from working abroad
The team issued proceedings and the matter went to the High Court. In the days before trial the team managed to agree a successful settlement for our client.
