LANDLORD-TENANT LAW
Landlord-tenant law can be complicated and confusing. If you are a landlord or a tenant, the law is very specific and it is important that you have legal representation to protect your rights. There are many formalities that must be followed in order to obtain favorable outcomes to problems that arise in the landlord-tenant context. While many landlords and tenants are unaware of these formalities, ignorance of the law is no defense, and these requirements must be complied with.
Our office can properly advise you regarding the many issues that arise from the landlord-tenant relationship, including commercial, retail, and residential landlord-tenant law.
