Most people are able to enjoy good relations with their neighbours. However, sometimes disputes cannot be avoided. Such disputes may take various forms, such as someone claiming ownership or rights over your land or somebody denying your rights over their land. There may be disputes about the boundaries between the two properties or the need to enter onto another person's land in order to carry out works to your own building.
Equally, landlords and tenants always hope to remain on good terms, but this may prove impossible where, for example, the tenant fails to pay rent or to keep the property in good condition or the landlord fails to meet his repairing and other obligations.
