If You’re Being Evicted
In the case that your landlord serves you with a notice of lease termination, and you want to fight it, then having a lawyer can increase the chances of seeing success with your case. Lawyers are able to better understand the contract and find strategies to ensure that you wind up on top. Having an attorney can also provide you with the support that you need to build up a case that can hold up in court.
Unfulfilled Promises
When you sign a lease, both parties are agreeing to certain leasing and living conditions. In the case that your landlord is not holding up their end of the deal, then hiring a lawyer can provide you with the professional support that you need to get what you signed up for. Once we work through the evidence of your case, we will build up a case that provides enough proof to show a court that your landlord is not holding up their end of the bargain.
Unfit Living Conditions
In the case that you have signed a lease for is unfit to live in, you can bring the landlord to court. This goes along with having signed a lease for a specific space, and if it doesn’t hold up to those standards then you can most certainly bring that person to court. Having proof and support to back up your case is something that can definitely enhance the chances of winning a case. Anything like pictures, witnesses, and physical conditions can help us in the long run.
