🔁 Tenancy renewals/QPs

You want to serve a valid S21 but history blocks it.

Tenant likely to raise deposit/PI defence at court.

Compliance first, litigation ready
We don’t just tell you what’s wrong—we give you the exact order of fixes and how to prove service, so your future notice survives scrutiny.
If S21 remains blocked, we outline a Section 8 route (e.g., arrears/ASB) and prep next steps.
