The attorneys of Sauerwein Simon P.C. regularly represent commercial and residential landlords in all manner of lease disputes and landlord-tenant litigation. We work closely with landlords to determine the most cost-effective solutions to tenant issues, and oftentimes can resolve landlord-tenant and lease disputes prior to litigation through demand letters, negotiations, or mediations. If litigation is necessary, we work quickly to achieve desirable results, and routinely prosecute rent and possession actions, unlawful detainer actions and breach of contract actions.
We have handled numerous cases ranging from straightforward matters to complex multi-party litigation, and have helped landlords with sublease issues, assignments, ejectments, expedited evictions, abandonment, and tenant bankruptcy issues. If a money judgment is obtained against a tenant for back rent, late fees, damages to the leased premises, and/or attorney’s fees, we advise landlords as to their options with respect to recoupment and recovery of the judgment obtained. We also defend landlords in actions brought by tenants for breach of contract, breach of warranty, forcible entry and detainer, security deposit disputes, and wrongful eviction.
Finally, our transactional real estate attorneys are available to assist landlords in initial lease negotiations and formation, and in negotiating lease extensions and revisions.
