As a landlord, you have certain responsibilities and rights. Failure to fulfill your obligations can lead to a tenant-landlord dispute which may require legal assistance in order to resolve. Some reasons for disputes include:
• failure by the tenant to pay rent on time or at all
• damage from pets or tenants to the property
• unhygienic conditions in the rental unit
• disagreement over property rules and regulations
- failure by a tenant to vacate at the end of a lease term.
If you are faced with eviction, it is important to have a real estate lawyer who can help represent your interests and ensure that the eviction process is done fairly.
Landlord-tenant disputes may be resolved through civil means such as negotiation or mediation, or they may go to legal action which could result in eviction.
