Landlord/Tenant Resolutions

Both the landlord and the tenant have certain rights under Connecticut and New York law. Most states generally favor the tenant when a dispute arises, so having a lawyer working on your behalf is advisable. Some of the issues that can arise to pose a problem include:

• Rent increases
• Return of security deposits
• Subleasing
• Evictions
• Nonpayment of rent
• Discrimination

When facing a tenant who is refusing to pay rent or is found to be subleasing without authorization, knowing the correct legal steps to take to resolve the situation or begin eviction proceedings is important  both financially and otherwise.   As a tenant, if you have complied with all lease terms and feel your rent is being raised unfairly, your security deposit has not been returned, or you feel there was discrimination involved, our firm is here to help you with your legal matter. Landlord/Tenant laws are carefully written and the legal team at the firm can determine a resolution for your conflict that is based on the law.  For a cost effective and skilled legal representative in your issues with real estate law, contact the office today.
