Lease Drafting:
Both landlords and tenants can avoid potential problems by having a well-drafted lease contract that clearly details all rental terms. We will consider the details of your property and its occupancy and develop a clear, detailed lease that addresses all aspects of your rental agreement. When you present the lease to your tenant, you can feel confident that you are in compliance with New Jersey or New York law, and that your rights are protected in the event that a dispute arises.
Resolving Landlord/Tenant Disputes:
Eviction can be time consuming and costly for both the landlord and tenant. The landlord may have to spend time and money to replace the evicted tenant, and the evicted tenant must locate a new residence under less than ideal circumstances. With these difficulties in mind, mediation is often the most desirable path.
Eviction/Eviction Defense:
For landlords with tenants who are engaged in disruptive, illegal or damaging behavior or are in arrears on rent, we will manage eviction proceedings to cause the removal of undesirable tenants from your property.
If you are a tenant who faces unjust eviction, we will protect your right to remain in your home.
Protecting Tenants’ Rights and Security Deposits:
New Jersey and New York law specify the requirements for the usage, retention, and return of security deposits. If a landlord fails to follow these regulations, a qualified attorney can help you to collect what is rightfully yours.
