Owners & Tenants law

Meaning of

Owners and Tenants in Law

Tenants are people entitled under a rental agreement to occupy a dwelling unit to the exclusion of others. Tenants have a legal obligation to keep the premises in a clean and sanitary condition and pay the agreed-upon rent. Failure to do so may result in eviction or forfeiture of security deposit funds.

On the other hand, the owners or the landlords are the individuals who own the property that is leased or rented to another. The law imposes certain duties on an owner or a landlord to maintain the premises in habitable conditions.

Failure to do so, such as providing adequate weatherproofing, available heat, water and electricity, and clean, sanitary, and structurally safe premises, may be legal justification for a tenant’s defensive acts. These acts include immediately moving out, paying less rent, withholding the entire rent until the problem is fixed, and making necessary repairs.

The owner or the landlord may be sued for a refund of past rent, and in some circumstances, can be sued for the discomfort, annoyance, and emotional distress caused by the substandard conditions.

A landlord tenant lawyer is the person responsible for handling the cases of owners and tenants. At Jarajreh & Partners, we offer you the most appropriate legal service and consultancy for your problems that are related to owners and tenants.

When Do You Need

Experts in the Cases of Owners and Tenants?

One can never be one hundred percent sure when it comes to needing experts in construction and real estate. Nowadays, people are finding it hard to trust others in terms of business and sales. Construction contract lawyers, a building contract lawyer, or a realtor lawyer are always needed. To each construction lawyer and real estate lawyer his/her experience, and each works in his/her field of expertise.

Here’re examples of cases in which companies or individuals might need a construction lawyer:

If landlords serve a business with a termination notice that they intend to fight, they should hire a landlord tenant lawyer to increase the chances of winning. By choosing a qualified local tenant lawyer who is knowledgeable about commercial lease law and has significant experience fighting evictions, you can easily win and stay in the office that you have rented. Such a lawyer can come up with effective strategies or creative solutions that businesses or tenants might not be aware of. For example, the lawyer could argue that the landlord’s eviction was retaliatory, which is considered an illegal eviction, if the circumstances support such a defense.

If you are living in an apartment and your landlord is discriminating against you because of your skin color, nationality, gender, orientation, age, or function, you will need an apartment lawyer to stop the illegal actions and help you recover damages for any harm. You have the right to sue your landlord in court if he/she is discriminating against you and it is harming you and if this might have serious repercussions on your health and life.

If your landlord isn’t fulfilling important obligations under your lease and the law, it can lead to major problems. Some examples include putting off the needed heating systems or air conditioning repairs until winter is well underway, or if a burglary occurs in the case of landlords neglecting fixing a broken window. Even if you were injured after having clearly requested fixing the drawer, you have the right to refer to a landlord tenant lawyer to advise you, help you negotiate, or if need be, file a lawsuit.

We all know the go-to tactic that landlords use when they wish to encourage hesitant applicants to rent from them. They start making promises that they fail to fulfill later on. For example, if an applicant is concerned about the neighborhood crime rate, a landlord might promise to install a more effective intercom system or a gated parking lot. In some cases, landlords fail to fulfill their promises. This leaves tenants obliged to hire a tenant lawyer to write a stern letter for example. This can also include a reminder that landlords can be held liable for some criminal activities at their rentals, and threatening a lawsuit unless the landlord follows through.

If landlords are noticing that tenants are damaging the property by having parties, breaking windows, or even damaging walls, they have the right to refer to a legal consultant to regulate the situation. A landlord tenant lawyer can typically start by negotiating, and if it doesn’t work, a written warning can be sent to tenants to fix whatever they have damaged. And in the cases where tenants refuse to do so, landlords have the right to file a lawsuit and claim their compensation. Landlords and owners are more likely to win if the lease contract includes a clause about damaged property.

If tenants aren’t paying rent on time, landlords and owners have the right to refer to a tenant lawyer to fix the problem. Whether they choose to send a written warning, to negotiate, or to evict with proper court procedures, a landlord tenant lawyer can take care of the whole situation from A to Z. This forces tenants to pay, or if they really can’t pay, they can come up with an effective legal solution that suits both parties.

If you are having problems with your landlords or owners, and you need professional legal advice to know your rights, obligations, and the available options, you have the right to refer to a landlord tenant lawyer to listen to your problem, deeply understand it, and give you the effective advice that you need. It is always recommended to have legal help by asking a legal consultant since the law guarantees that everything is on the right track.

If you want to draft a lease contract, you will need a professional landlord tenant lawyer to complete this task since he/she knows what should be in that contract and what are the rights and obligations of owners and tenants. This also applies if a tenant wishes to review a lease contract to make sure that it is appropriate, effective, and that it has everything that might be needed.
