Frish Law Group, APLC provides you with a landlord-tenant lawyer who is prepared to assist with any disputes that may involve your leased property. The business of leasing residential or commercial property can sometimes involve conflicts with tenants and require a legal solution.

We understand that your business income relies on tenants to abide by lease terms, make payments, and prevent property damage. If any of these are violated, your losses may be recovered by filing suit in court and making the other party accountable.

Areas of Landlord-Tenant Law and Litigation

There are central issues in leasing property that are prone to disputes between landlords and tenants. We have the background in property law and lease agreements to know how to handle each situation and achieve a successful resolution for our clients. Although our tenant rights lawyer in Los Angeles attempt to reach an agreement out of court, we are ready to aggressively litigate your case, if necessary. The areas of landlord-tenant law that frequently arise include:

Breach of lease agreements: This is the most common type of conflict where tenants are not fulfilling the terms of their lease. In residential leases, this may be as simple as not paying rent and still occupying the premises. For commercial tenants, there may be issues with utility payments, subleasing and assignment, modification of property, and insurance payments. In both cases, tenants are required to meet their obligations and follow the terms of the lease, or risk eviction from the property.

Property misuse or damage: Most tenants are required to provide a security deposit to cover damages, but this does not simply permit any type of use that can affect the property’s value or habitability. Persistent damage can affect your investment, and should be dealt with quickly. Commercial tenants are restricted to certain types of retail or business activity, and any deviation from those terms can be the basis for a lawsuit.

Non-compliance with local law or regulations: If a tenant is violating local laws and regulations, you as landlord have a responsibility to force compliance. This may include noise restrictions, ensuring compliance with health and safety standards, restricting certain types of business activity in a residential area, or handling a tenant’s failure to abide by association rules in a development complex. A tenant may also make a complaint against a landlord for similar violations, and we can represent you if that occurs.

Eviction processes: If a tenant’s actions cannot be brought into alignment with the lease terms, then the only recourse is to begin an eviction process. We are familiar with the requirements of evictions, and can advise you on the necessary steps to expedite the legal process. Commercial leases do not carry the same protections, and once breached, a tenant can be evicted quickly if they refuse to abide by the terms of the lease.
