RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE
Helping You Resolve Residential Landlord Tenant Disputes
Unfortunately, whenever rental property is involved, disagreements happen between the landlord and the tenant. Sometimes, the responsibility lies on one side, but other times, both parties have responsibility for the difficulties involved in the matter.
Even matters that seem very simple result in a large amount of legal complication. If you are a landlord, you may be facing issues such as:
- A tenant who violated the terms of the lease
- Tenants paying rent late, wrong amounts, or not paying rent at all
- Property damage caused by tenants
- Eviction
- Matters involving security deposits
Even though landlord tenant law is designed primarily to protect the tenant, our attorneys have over 30 years of experience protecting the rights of landlords. If you are facing a difficult situation with your tenants, contact us at: (212) 768-8700
However, while tenants do cause some problems when involved in difficult situations with landlords, sometimes landlords are at fault too. Common difficulties caused by landlords include:
- Security deposit disputes
- Breach of the warranty of habitability
- Illegal lease provisions
- Unlawful evictions
- Rent overcharges
- Landlord failing to make obligated repairs
- Subletting issues
The highest court in the state of New York has described landlord tenant law as “an impenetrable thicket confusing not only to lay people, but to lawyers.”
To navigate the complexities of landlord tenant law, you need the help of an experienced New York landlord tenant lawyer. At Schiller Law Group, we have more than 30 years of experience serving both landlords and tenants.
