Unfortunately, some tenants have issues arise before, during, or at the end of their lease. The firm assists with issues relating to a landlord’s failure to repair issues in the unit, negotiating early termination of lease, disputing charges with landlord, and failing to return or improperly deducting from a security deposit. It can be intimidating when the person who you have the issue with owns the property that you live on, but an attorney can help you understand your rights and understand protections that are available.
Consulting with an attorney early in issues with your landlord can help you understand your rights and empower you to take the legal actions necessary to reach a resolution. When you schedule your consultation, have dates that you have made requests to your landlords, dates and copies of any notices from your landlord regarding the legal issue, any court documents, receipts for any payments or expenses that you have paid, and a copy of your lease. It is also helpful if you have read through your lease.
