Working with Landlords
At PLG, we represent clients who have sustained life-changing injuries due to medical negligence or personal injury. Due to the severity of their injuries, our clients are often unable to return to their own homes. This frequently leaves recently disabled people in a difficult situation, faced with living in unsuitable conditions or being placed in temporary care facilities away from their loved ones.
Our primary objective is to secure suitable rental accommodation as quickly as possible, so that our clients can receive the care and support they need without delay.
Securing a Long-Term Tenancy
Many of our team are landlords themselves, so we understand the importance of finding the right tenants for your property. Most of our clients fund their rental accommodation through compensation received as part of their legal claim. In short, our clients make excellent tenants.
The litigation process for serious injuries typically spans several years. During this time, legal teams often secure interim payments to cover a variety of essential costs, such as rental fees and property adaptations, until a full settlement is reached.
As a landlord, this means you benefit from the security of a long-term tenancy, typically lasting 2-4 years, with financially secure tenants.
Finding the Right Tenant
Given the nature of our clients’ injuries, we often need to adapt rental properties to meet their needs. Using our expertise, we assess whether a property is suitable and advise on the necessary adaptations to make it accessible. As landlords, you can trust us to protect the integrity of your properties while making these accessibility adaptations.
Managing Property Adaptations
We handle all aspects of property adaptations, which often include adding ramps and handrails, decking, door widening for wheelchair access, and modifying bathrooms. We take full responsibility for managing all necessary adaptations to the rental properties, including:
- Project Management: From architectural design to completion, we oversee the entire adaptation process under a Joint Contract Tribunal (JCT).
- Collaborative Approach: Before making changes, we work closely with landlords. All adaptations are detailed within the Assured Shorthold Tenancy agreement to protect both landlords and clients.
- Value Addition: In most cases, adaptations can add value to the property. We also agree on the reinstatement requirements needed at the end of the tenancy agreement so your property will be returned exactly as it was.
Our clients are secure, reliable, and make excellent tenants.
