We maintain an active, extensive, and diverse landlord tenant practice, representing clients ranging from the individual owner to small and large apartment buildings and complexes, management companies, realtors, condominium (condo) associations, co-op boards, and commercial / industrial
park owners. We are intimately familiar with both state and federal laws

We assist our clients daily in the following activities:

  • Preparation and negotiation of residential and commercial leases,
    policies, and rules and regulations

    non-payment of rent

  • Rent Control issues including appearances before rent control boards
  • DCA matters including building code violations, housing code
    violations, and fire code matters
  • Instructing property managers in how to avoid legal pitfalls that
    result in extended stays for problem tenants and those withholding rent
  • Advising clients of their legal rights and remedies in dealing with
    problem residents

    • We also counsel owners and operators of residential housing projects that participate in the Section 8 rental subsidy program, and handle legal matters related to the administration of the Section 8 voucher program. Our experience includes complex tenancy matters involving bankruptcies, receiverships, Section 8, evictions for criminal or other unlawful activity, and breach of lease actions.
