Resolving Landlord-Tenant Disputes In Florida
Landlord-tenant disputes are common in South Florida and beyond. They can range from claims of discrimination to maintenance conflicts and can result in creating a hostile relationship for both sides of the dispute.
When these types of disputes escalate or can’t be resolved easily, it’s best to turn to an experienced attorney who knows what steps to take. Attorney Hegel Laurent at Laurent Law Office, P.L., is familiar with handling issues landlords and tenants face, and can help either side protect their interests.
Supporting South Florida Landlords
Landlords are committed to protecting their investments and Laurent Law Office, P.L., is committed to helping you. When someone fails to fulfill the agreed-upon lease terms or destroys your property, you must take specific and deliberate steps before evicting them. There are existing Florida landlord-tenant laws designed to protect you and your tenant, and you must adhere to them.
It’s in your best interest to speak to legal counsel before taking action against your tenant. Although you may want to change the locks and remove their belongings from the house or apartment, you may only worsen your situation. Landlords who violate the law may also be violating the terms of their lease agreement. This exposes you to liability and additional civil actions.
Mr. Laurent will advise you on how to document your tenant’s behavior, file eviction notices and represent you during any legal proceedings. Never forget that although you have rights, you also have responsibilities as a landlord. Allow the firm’s attorney to assist you in protecting yourself and your investment.
