Breach of Lease Agreement Attorney
Several different types of problems can arise in a landlord-tenant relationship. The tenant may fall behind on rent payments; the landlord may fail to make necessary repairs to the property; or there may be a dispute involving the use of common areas within an apartment or rental property. In most cases, these disputes occur when a party to a lease agreement – the landlord, the tenant, or a co-tenant, violates the terms of the contract.
In cases where a contract has been violated, or in situations where one party is acting unreasonably or illegally, legal remedies may be available. If a tenant has refused to pay rent, a court may choose to order an eviction and force the tenant to vacate the property or to pay the outstanding balance to the landlord. On the other hand, if a tenant is unfairly threatened with eviction or the landlord is not fulfilling his or her duties, a court may step in to ensure that the tenant is not illegally forced from the home. At times, the parties can avoid court proceedings by working out their differences with the help of their respective lawyers.
Landlord-tenant disputes can be particularly sensitive. The landlord owns the property at the center of the dispute, but to the tenant, the property is home. Both parties have interests that they wish to protect. The sensitive nature of these interests makes it particularly important that each party involved in a landlord-tenant dispute seek expert legal advice.
If you have a dispute with your landlord or tenant, consider meeting with a lawyer. A knowledgeable attorney can assist you in understanding your rights and obligations under the law and explain what the terms of your lease agreement really mean. This analysis will help you better understand whether your rights have been violated and whether you are entitled to legal recovery. With the help of an experienced landlord-tenant attorney who can fight for your rights, you have a better chance of reaching a positive and speedy resolution.
