Real Estate & Property
Landlord-Tenant
Advice for landlords and tenants on leases, rent, repairs and evictions.
Overview
What this involves
The relationship between landlord and tenant is shaped by the lease and by a body of state and local rules that give both sides rights. Problems usually involve rent, repairs, deposits or the end of a tenancy.
KMC Justice advises both landlords and tenants.
