Residential Evictions
In recent years, strict new laws have been created to protect both tenants and housing providers. These laws give tenants limited rights when they are facing eviction.
But the law is still clear that tenants have the obligation to pay rent, respect property, and respect their neighbors. If tenants fail to meet these obligations, you should take legal action.
The laws regarding residential evictions are very strict, and very complex. If you fail to carefully follow these rules, your case may be dismissed, resulting in additional time and expense. In other words, it is extremely important that you have an attorney help you if you are having difficulty with a tenant.
