Landlords and tenants
Unpaid rent, deposits, damage, notice or renewal: rules differ between residential leases and commercial leases, which give the tenant a right to renewal or eviction compensation.
Ownership and land titles
Land registration, boundary disputes and easements often go before the land court.

Frequently asked questions
My tenant has stopped paying: what can I do?
First serve a formal notice through a bailiff, then go to court to recover payment and, if needed, obtain eviction.
Can I evict an occupant myself?
No. Eviction must be ordered by a judge and carried out by a bailiff; self-help exposes you to prosecution.
What is a land title?
It is the official record held by the land registry that definitively establishes ownership and encumbrances.
