Landlord/Tenant Relations

 

The landlord-tenant relationship can often be adversarial, and the legal process has evolved based on this dynamic.  Whether you are the property owner or the tenant, it is important to seek experienced legal counsel as soon as disputes arise.  At Lawrence J. Bernard, P.A., we represent property owners who need to draft and enforce leases, as well as tenants who face disputes.

• Breaches of lease

• Cancellation or renewal of lease or lease options

• Residential lease disputes

• Sublease disputes

• Breach of covenant

• Breach of warranty of habitability

• Eviction notices

• Nuisance

• Landlord occupancy

 

Services the firm provides to landlords include:

 

• Drafting, reviewing and revising lease agreements

• Eviction of problematic tenants, including holdover tenants in violation of a lease agreement

• Legal counsel regarding nonpayment of rent, which may lead to eviction and/or rent collection actions
