What we do
The Rent Commission is an organization that can be called upon when there are disagreements between tenants and landlords. They assess the conflicts based on laws and regulations. They then make a decision. Agreements are also made, and both parties are required to abide by them.
The Rent Commission can issue rulings on the following:
- The rent;
- Utility costs;
- Increase or decrease in rent, etc.
As a tenant or landlord, the rules must be adhered to. If these are not adhered to, the Rent Commission can be called upon. The rulings of the Rent Commission are binding. This means that if, for example, the Rent Commission rules that the rent must be reduced, the landlord must lower the rent.
The Rent Commission applies laws and regulations to guide tenants and landlords in their conflict. They also have a supervisory function, in the sense that, in the dispute between the parties, the Rent Commission verifies whether the correct laws and regulations have been applied.
We have an experienced team of lawyers and legal experts in the field of Investigation & Public Enforcement. Contact us to discuss the possibilities.

In specialized legal cases, it is not just about the legal rule. It is also about evidence, timing, negotiating position, and the business implications of every step.
What we help with
We assist entrepreneurs and organizations with legal questions where careful assessment, strategy, and execution are important.
- Assessment of your legal position
- Analysis of contracts, decisions, correspondence, and supporting documents
- Advice on liability, defense, and strategy
- Drafting or reviewing legal correspondence
- Negotiation with counterparty, trustee, shareholder or advisor
- Guidance during escalation, proceedings, or settlement
When should you call in a specialist?
Legal assistance is particularly valuable when the stakes are high, deadlines are running, or when an incorrect response could weaken your position.
- There is a claim, demand, or notice of liability
- You are unsure whether to respond, negotiate, or litigate
- There are major financial or reputational risks
- The other party exerts pressure or uses short deadlines
- You want to prevent a response from being used against you later
- You want to know in advance what is legally and commercially sound
Assess first, then respond
In specialized cases, an initial response can be decisive for the subsequent course of action. An admission, incomplete explanation, or the wrong tone could be used against you later. Therefore, we first assess exactly what is being alleged, which facts have been established, which documents are missing, and which strategy aligns with your best interests.
