Our Residential Real Estate Services:
Our firm specializes in providing legal representation to landlords in a wide range of issues. These include, but are not limited to, the creation of lease agreements, property management and financing, eviction cases involving both no-fault and fault-based situations, addressing late or non-payment of rent, handling property damage claims, addressing breaches of lease agreements and covenants such as nuisance, unapproved subletting (such as Airbnb and VRBO rentals), and criminal activity, as well as defending against tenant lawsuits.
In a similar vein, our legal professionals specializing in residential real estate provide legal representation for tenants in a range of issues, which encompass but are not restricted to instances of unjust eviction, conflicts related to rent control, concerns regarding habitability such as structural soundness, safety, health conditions, repairs due to regular usage, adherence to building codes, and the maintenance of shared spaces. Additionally, our attorneys handle cases involving discriminatory practices in rental agreements based on factors such as race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, family size, or income source.
In both landlord and tenant representation, the utilization of negotiation, mediation, or arbitration is frequently employed as a means to attain favorable outcomes for our clients in a cost-efficient manner. Furthermore, our legal representatives will not exhibit any reluctance in resorting to litigation in order to safeguard the interests of our clients, if the situation demands it.
We provide frequent assistance to clients who are homeowners, condo owners, or association directors in resolving issues related to homeowners’ association (HOA) matters.
The legal professionals specializing in residential real estate law provide legal representation for homeowners who have been accused of engaging in activities that cause disturbances, as well as individuals who express concerns over disturbances caused by others. Our team possesses the expertise to conduct comprehensive analyses and ascertain the impact of many elements, including potential code breaches, on nuisance issues. We further provide support to homeowners who have a dissenting stance on a special assessment imposed by their Homeowners Association (HOA) on their property. Furthermore, our firm specializes in addressing issues pertaining to conflicts arising from covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs). This encompasses situations where individuals are either accused of breaching these regulations or hold the belief that insufficient measures are being taken to enforce the CC&Rs against fellow homeowners.
Our firm often handles real estate transactions and disputes, which has equipped us with the expertise and skills necessary to effectively manage the intricacies involved in the residential real estate buying process. Our firm is responsible for managing various legal issues related to the creation of purchase agreements, resolving disputes regarding property titles and adverse possession claims, addressing cases involving nondisclosure of material facts, handling fraud disputes, addressing undisclosed dual agency situations, addressing misrepresentations on Multiple Listing Service (MLS) listings, and resolving issues related to encumbrances or liens that may impede the sale of a property.
Our residential real estate attorneys handle easement disputes involving trees, water drainage, boundary line location, retaining walls, joint fences, and the encroachment of structures or buildings located primarily on one property across or upon the legal boundary onto or onto the other property.
We represent clients in construction-related disputes, view disputes, excessive noise or other nuisances, and hazardous conditions that endanger or affect the reasonable use and enjoyment of property.
If the financial burden of mortgage payments has reached an unmanageable level, our services can assist you in obtaining a loan modification that has the potential to prevent the loss of your residence. The primary objective of a loan modification is to offer borrowers a mortgage payment that is within their financial means. The procedure bears resemblance to that of a mortgage refinance; however, instead of initiating a new mortgage, we collaborate with lenders to alter the conditions of our clients’ existing mortgage. Obtaining sound legal counsel from a proficient attorney specializing in loan modification is crucial in securing an optimal loan modification agreement with lenders, which in turn may serve to safeguard one’s credit. Our organization provides assistance to clients in reducing interest rates, extending loan terms, decreasing the principal balance of loans, and potentially eliminating secondary mortgages. Our company also provides assistance to clients who are in arrears with their mortgage payments in order to halt the foreclosure procedure.
