Can I recover my solicitors fees from the other side in an RTB dispute?

A RentWise Team Answered by

There is generally no automatic right to have your solicitor’s or barrister’s fees paid by the other party in an RTB dispute, and each side will usually cover its own legal costs. You can represent yourself, although legal advice may be useful where the facts or legal issues are complicated. The RTB’s dispute-resolution process, including any decision about costs or other remedies, depends on the procedure used and the individual circumstances. Check the RTB’s current guidance or speak to a solicitor before incurring significant legal costs.
