Eviction and Legal Process

Tenant Rights and Defenses Against Eviction

Tenants have rights, even when a landlord starts eviction proceedings. A tenant paralegal assists tenants in contesting unjust evictions. If a landlord does not follow proper legal procedures, the eviction can be void.

Lease Agreements and Legal Guidance

Some typical lease problems are ambiguous lease clauses to raise rent and repairs and wrong lease termination.
