While both the landlord and tenant have rights, each also has obligations. The landlord is responsible for premises maintenance and in many cases, for meeting local housing codes, and the tenant must abide by the terms of the lease. When terms of a rental agreement are violated, the landlord may issue an eviction notice.
The landlord-tenant relationship is often subject to disputes. Problems can arise for a wide variety of reasons. Tenants often are not fully aware of what rights they have when dealing with landlords. Often tenants fail to carefully read the lease they sign. Issues about security deposits are common. Or one might lease a home, only to have the owner default on the mortgage. At the Law Office of Carl Brugnoli, our attorneys are prepared to fight on your behalf. If you have a landlord dispute that you have been unable to resolve on your own, we can help. Likewise, if you are a landlord faced with a tenant who has been evicted but refuses to leave or pay rent, we can help. If you delay in enlisting an attorney to help with an eviction action, your rights may be lost. |
