As a landlord or a tenant you have a lot at stake. Landlords need to be able to ensure they receive a return on their substantial investment.\u00a0 Rent needs to be received, and damages to property avoided. Tenants need their privacy respected and be free of unreasonable landlord intrusions.

There are tenants and Landlords who don’t keep up their part of tenancy agreements. In a personal context, landlords are left with unpaid rent, eviction challenges and property damage and theft.\u00a0 In a corporate \/ commercial context, tenants may remove fixtures or damage premises when a lease terminates, or just disappear in the middle of the night.

Preparation and execution of comprehensive documents can assist with ensuring everyone knows the rules of the landlord and tenant relationship. If things come apart, you will likely want a lawyer who will help you to communicate with the other side in an effort to resolve concerns with minimal time and expense. If communication and other resolution options are unsuccessful, we can represent you in the courts and other tribunals.

There is much law on what landlords and tenants can, and cannot do. We’ll help you to know your rights and obligations. We’ll also help you to take steps that are more likely to help you to be ready if your matter proceeds before the courts. Please also see our comments in\u00a0the Civil Litigation section of our website.<\/p>
