Assisting Landlords In Virginia

When we help landlords, it may be because they have difficult tenants, such as those who have past-due rent or who have broken the terms of their lease. We can help at the beginning when creating and reviewing the lease terms, or we can help enforce that contract after it has been signed. In some cases, apartments will be significantly damaged, so disputes could arise over liability or security deposit issues. Our team can also help with evicting tenants, which can be complex, even when there is reasonable cause.

Assisting Tenants

But we also help tenants protect their rights, such as if a landlord is trying to evict them in a way that goes against the terms of the lease or otherwise breaks those lease agreements. A landlord may inappropriately enter the residence without permission, for example, or try to illegally raise rent. There may also be concerns about maintenance records or safety in the apartment. In many cases, tenants take issue with landlords keeping their security deposit for something that they consider normal wear and tear.
