How We Can Help Tenants
Tenant-landlord disputes can be complex and overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate them alone. At The Law Offices of Gus Michael Farinella PC, we specialize in tenant representation, ensuring your rights are protected and your voice is heard. Our experienced real estate lawyers are committed to providing comprehensive legal support to help you resolve conflicts with your landlord effectively.
Lease Agreement Disputes
Lease agreements are binding contracts that outline the terms and conditions of your rental arrangement. When disputes arise regarding these agreements, it is crucial to have knowledgeable legal representation. At The Law Offices of Gus Michael Farinella PC, we can assist you with:
Reviewing Lease Agreements: We carefully review lease agreements to ensure they are fair and comply with state and local laws.
Negotiating Lease Terms: Our attorneys can negotiate more favorable terms on your behalf, addressing issues such as rent increases, lease renewals, and termination clauses.
Handling Breaches: If your landlord breaches the lease terms, we will take legal action to enforce your rights and seek appropriate remedies.
Security Deposit Issues
Security deposits are meant to protect landlords against potential damages or unpaid rent. However, disputes often arise over the return of these deposits. Our team can help you resolve such issues by:
Assessing Claims: We evaluate the legality of the landlord’s claims against your security deposit and determine if they are justified.
Demanding Refund: If the landlord wrongfully withholds your deposit, we will demand its refund and take necessary legal steps to recover it.
Litigating Disputes: Should negotiations fail, our real estate attorneys are prepared to litigate your case in court to ensure you receive what you are owed.
Repair and Maintenance Problems
Tenants have the right to live in safe and habitable conditions. When landlords fail to make necessary repairs or maintain the property, it can lead to serious living conditions and health risks. We can assist you by:
Documenting Issues: We help document repair and maintenance issues, creating a record of the landlord’s negligence.
Issuing Demands: Our attorneys will issue formal demands for repairs, citing relevant housing codes and tenant laws.
Pursuing Legal Action: If the landlord still fails to address the issues, we will take legal action to compel them to fulfill their obligations or compensate you for any damages incurred.
Eviction Defense
Facing eviction can be a stressful and overwhelming experience. Our firm is dedicated to defending tenants against wrongful evictions and ensuring due process is followed. We offer the following services:
Evaluating Notices: We review eviction notices to determine their validity and whether proper procedures have been followed.
Defending in Court: Our attorneys represent tenants in eviction proceedings, presenting defenses such as retaliation, discrimination, or procedural errors.
Negotiating Settlements: We can negotiate settlements that allow you to remain in your home or receive additional time to find alternative housing.
Retaliation and Harassment Protection
Landlords sometimes engage in retaliatory or harassing behavior when tenants exercise their legal rights. Our team is committed to protecting tenants from such actions by:
Identifying Retaliation: We identify retaliatory actions, such as unjustified rent increases, threats, or changes in lease terms, taken by landlords after you assert your rights.
Filing Complaints: Our attorneys file complaints with appropriate authorities to address harassment and retaliation.
Seeking Damages: We seek damages for any harm suffered due to the landlord’s retaliatory or harassing behavior.
