Dorota Pawlowski

Specialising in all aspects of issues that may face a residential landlord, Dorota advises registered providers in relation to anti-social behaviour, housing conditions claims, illegal evictions, homelessness issues, and general tenancy matters ranging from illegal occupiers to hoarders and failed successions. Dorota also advises private landlords in relation to this sector that is becoming ever-more regulated and challenging including how to recover possession and the legal requirements to comply with before doing so. She also advises on the impact of mental health on court proceedings and how best to address such issues. She has advised extensively on the drafting of tenancy agreements and has reviewed policies and procedures. Dorota is also often asked to speak at events on all aspects of residential tenancies in both the social housing sector and the private rented sector, and delivers bespoke training to clients. She is a Committee member of the Social Housing Law Association and was instrumental in reforming the Midlands regional branch of this organisation which she now chairs.
