Landlord and Tenant Law

It is important for both landlords and tenants in the Las Vegas, Summerlin and Green Valley area to understand that they are governed by a very specific set of rights and responsibilities. This is true in residential as well as commercial contexts. At Pintar Albiston, we are committed to offering effective legal counsel at affordable rates. By securing representation at an early stage, a landlord will stand a much better chance of promptly and properly evicting a delinquent tenant. Similarly, a tenant who is being treated unfairly will be able to more forcefully assert their rights and avail themselves of the protections afforded by the law.

Tenant and Landlord Rights and Responsibilities

While landlords are certainly obligated to fulfill their obligations pursuant to the terms of their lease agreement with a tenant, they are also bound by Nevada law to maintain their rental properties to a certain standard. Failing to do so can subject a landlord to costly damage claims made by tenants. Conversely, tenants are held to specific requirements that must be met at the risk of being evicted if they are not. We provide knowledgeable counsel on all aspects of landlord and tenant rights and responsibilities, helping clients steer clear of pitfalls and costly litigation.

The Law of Security Deposits

The topic of security deposits is extremely relevant to both tenants and landlords and is also one that is the subject of very specific legislation. Strict provisions regarding the return of security deposits at the end of a lease apply, and failure to comply with them can result in landlord liability for double damages. Tenants who damage a rental property, however, may forfeit some or all of the deposit. When security deposit disputes arise, it pays to enlist the aid of a seasoned real estate attorney who can help find mutually agreeable solutions.
