Do Real Estate Lawyers Handle Issues With Rental Properties?

When a commercial or a residential property is rented out to a tenant, the lease agreement dictates the terms of the arrangement. All parties must abide by the lease, which acts as a legally binding contract. In addition to the lease, Nevada law also sets certain rules that govern the relationship between landlords and tenants. Regardless of the terms of the lease, laws protecting the rights of tenants must be respected by landlords.

In many cases, complicated legal issues can arise between tenants and landlords. Real estate lawyers can provide assistance in negotiating rental lease agreements to minimize the potential for problems to develop. Real estate attorneys in Nevada can also provide representation to landlords or to tenants when a dispute or disagreement arises and must be resolved. Pintar Albiston, LLP has extensive experience helping clients facing a variety of different issues with their rental property. Call today to learn more about how experienced real estate lawyers handle issues with rental properties.

Real Estate Lawyers Handle Issues with Rental Properties

Real estate lawyers handle issues with rental properties on a routine basis. There are a wide variety of different legal services that can be provided by an attorney when problems develop with either residential or commercial rental properties. For example, an attorney can assist with:

  • Lease negotiations.
  • Lease renewals.
  • Disagreements and disputes over the terms of a lease agreement.
  • Tenant evictions.
  • Maintenance and repair disputes.
  • Security deposit disputes and return of security deposits.

Pintar Albiston, LLP attorneys have a deep understanding of contract and lease laws as well as landlord and tenant laws. Our Las Vegas real estate lawyers can apply our specialized legal knowledge to help both landlords and tenants to resolve their differences and protect their legal interests.

In many cases, real estate lawyers will be able to help resolve problems with lease agreements and landlord tenant relationships without involving the court system.  Your attorney can explain your legal rights, advise you on the best way to protect yourself, and help you to negotiate an amicable resolution to problems. This can allow tenants to avoid a costly move and landlords to preserve their rental income.

In some situations, however, the only solution is to turn to the legal system for help. Landlords, for example, must follow the proper eviction process in order to eject a tenant from a rental unit for nonpayment of rent or for other lease violations. Pintar Albiston, LLP can help landlords to move as quickly as possible to deal with problem tenants so they do not lose the revenue from a rental unit. We can also represent tenants to fight unjust evictions.

The landlord tenant relationship can be fraught with potential complications, and having the very best legal advice is important for all involved parties. Your attorney can provide important assistance in interpreting the law and using the legal system to protect your interests.  Call Pintar Albiston, LLP today to speak with a member of our legal team and to learn more about how real estate lawyers handle issues with rental properties.
