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

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.”
