Leasing & Landlord-Tenant Law

What are the legal aspects of leasing a property?

A real estate lawyer can help review lease agreements, ensure that they comply with state laws, and advise on tenant and landlord rights, including issues related to rent, property maintenance, and eviction procedures.

How do I handle a property dispute?

Property disputes can arise due to boundary issues, contract disagreements, or title problems. A real estate lawyer can assist in resolving disputes through negotiation, mediation, or, if necessary, legal action.

Certainly! Here are a couple of FAQs focused on eviction and foreclosure:

What is the eviction process?

Eviction is the legal process by which a landlord removes a tenant from a rental property. This typically occurs when a tenant fails to pay rent, violates the lease agreement, or engages in illegal activity. A landlord must follow state and local laws, which often require providing notice to the tenant and filing legal paperwork with the court before a formal eviction can occur.

Can I prevent an eviction?

In some cases, tenants may be able to prevent eviction by negotiating with the landlord for more time to pay overdue rent or resolving other lease violations. If the eviction is based on a legal issue, such as discrimination or an improper eviction notice, you may have grounds to challenge the eviction in court. It's important to consult with a real estate lawyer to explore your options.
