Landlord Tenant Leasing and Disputes

Referring to the rights and obligations landlords and tenants have with regard to the rental property, this law field is very complex, as it varies from state to state. For instance, a landlord cannot evict a tenant in Oregon without proper notice and sufficient time. In contrast, in Maryland, a landlord must request a Warrant of Restitution to begin the process of eviction. Disputes between landlords and tenants can arise for numerous reasons, and because some are intricate, the assistance of a specialized lawyer is necessary. Seeking to settle any type of dispute that might arise between a tenant and a landlord, attorney Lars H. Fuller specializes in landlord-tenant law, offering legal assistance with regard to lease agreements, commercial or residential property, and discriminatory exclusion of tenants, among many other legal issues.

Why hire a landlord-tenant lawyer?

Lawyers with relevant experience in this practice area can help landlords create enforceable leases, advise them on ways to protect their property and income streams, and be great sources of information regarding the laws for security deposits, repairs and maintenance, and eviction. Similarly, tenants can benefit from a lawyer when their landlord has done something illegal or in violation of the lease, such as failing to repair a faulty electrical system. A lawyer can also help tenants understand the terms of the lease and make sure they agree with them.

As a landlord, you can benefit from the services of a lawyer when:

• the tenant is opposing the eviction and has a lawyer
• the tenant is filing for bankruptcy
• you must comply with rent control or housing program rules for eviction
• the tenant is your employee, and you are firing them
• the tenant accuses you of illegal discrimination
• the tenant sues you, claiming they got hurt because of your carelessness

As a tenant, you should hire a lawyer specializing in this area of practice when:

• you are unsure of your lease agreement
• your landlord is ignoring your grievances
• your landlord is trying to illegally evict you
• your landlord is violating your privacy
• you believe you should not have to pay your rent
• you have a security deposit dispute
• your landlord is suing you
• your landlord discriminates against you
• your landlord will not make the necessary repairs
• your landlord's carelessness has injured you
• your property has been damaged

A landlord-tenant lawyer will represent you in any disputes you have with your landlord or tenant. Moreover, a lawyer can research the law for you and possibly find lesser-known laws or cases that could positively impact your dispute's outcome. In complex cases, such as eviction, it is best to invest in hiring a landlord-tenant lawyer. If a long-term lease seems complicated or has unusual provisions, a lawyer can explain the nuances to you as a tenant so that you understand what you agree to do. Therefore, hiring a landlord-tenant lawyer can yield numerous benefits if you are having trouble understanding your lease, if you are in a dispute with your landlord or tenant, or in any other related circumstances.
