Legal Compliance and Risk Management: Keeping you informed about ever-evolving landlord-tenant laws, including rent control ordinances, fair housing laws, and anti-discrimination rules, to minimize your exposure to liability and legal disputes.
Tenant Holdover and Lease Termination: Offering legal strategies when tenants refuse to vacate the property after the lease expires or when a lease must be terminated early, whether due to non-compliance or other issues.
