Landlord Tenant Disputes
No Contract Legal Service
Disputes between landlords and tenants can take many forms -- from upkeep and repair issues to non-payment of rent and potential eviction. In addition to looking to the terms of any rental agreement in place, being informed of your rights as either a tenant or a landlord can help save money and avoid frustration. When navigating a dispute with your landlord or your tenant, care should be taken to ensure that both sides attempt to uphold their side of the agreement while protecting their interests to the fullest extent allowed by law.
Consulting an Attorney
You should consult an attorney if you have a legal matter involving a landlord/tenant or rental law issue that cannot be resolved between the two parties. In a landlord tenant situation, the landlord will employ a lawyer to prepare an unlawful detainer action to evict a tenant or to help negotiate or prepare a lease. Generally, commercial leases are prepared by attorneys, but residential leases are prepared by landlords, management companies and Realtors.
