What is mediation and why does it matter?
Mediation is a form of dispute resolution, many people think it is a mamby-pamby approach with a tree hugging mediator asking you to "get in touch with your feelings" and "see things from the other persons perspective"
Mediation isn't like that at all... think of a mediator as a guidance referee, someone who can help two people reach an outcome they are both happy with, while keeping them focused on moving forward.
Mediation gives you more options than court, allows you to control the outcome and helps you resolve many issues
Landlords and tenants are seeing the benefit of mediation as apposed to going to court.
Mediation can help with Rent arrears, access issues, needing vacant possession and much more.
Mediation agreements are legally binding too, so you can rest assured the outcome you agree is sealed in contract between you both.
So don't think of mediation as a waste of time and money, see it as a cheaper option to getting a mutually beneficial outcome.
