What Are Common Causes of Landlord and Tenant Disputes?
At Gangadin & Company Legal Services, we understand that landlord and tenant disputes can arise from various issues. We help clients navigate these conflicts with professionalism and practical solutions for resolution.
Non-Payment of Rent and Lease Violations
One of the most common causes of landlord and tenant disputes is the non-payment of rent. When tenants fail to meet their rental obligations, landlords may face financial difficulties, which often leads to tensions and legal action. At Gangadin & Company Legal Services, we assist landlords by providing advice on issuing proper notices, such as the N4 notice for non-payment of rent. Tenants, on the other hand, may face eviction or penalties and require guidance on their rights.
Another common dispute arises from lease violations, such as unauthorized pets, subletting without permission, or causing property damage. Landlords often seek legal remedies to enforce lease terms, while tenants may dispute the actions or penalties, requiring legal support for fair resolution. In both cases, we help both parties navigate the dispute, ensuring compliance with legal requirements and protecting their rights.
Evictions and Property Maintenance Issues
Eviction is another frequent cause of conflict between landlords and tenants. Landlords may initiate eviction proceedings for various reasons, such as rent arrears, violation of lease terms, or the intention to move into the unit themselves. At Gangadin & Company Legal Services, we help landlords understand the proper legal process to issue an eviction notice and represent tenants who may contest the eviction. Tenants may argue that the eviction is unjust or that proper legal steps weren’t followed.
Additionally, disputes often arise regarding property maintenance. Tenants may claim that landlords are not fulfilling their responsibilities to maintain the property in good condition, while landlords may argue that tenants are neglecting their duties to care for the space. These types of disputes can escalate quickly, but with the help of Gangadin & Company Legal Services, both landlords and tenants can reach fair solutions that comply with the law and preserve their rights.
