Past-due or Nonpayment of Rent
The payment of rent is pivotal to maintaining a good relationship between a landlord and a tenant. Each renter has an obligation to pay their rent in full and on time. If a renter fails to do so, this could cause a lack of trust between them and the landlord. Nonpayment or past due funds can cause strain on both the landlord and renter and may require further legal action.
Possession Disputes
When living in a home, a renter may feel like a piece or part of the property is theirs. The landlord may also feel like a piece of property belongs to them, even if it belongs to the renter. Of course, if this isn’t laid out clearly in the lease then it can cause a disagreement between the two parties. Depending on the amount and price of the property, legal help may need to be enlisted to figure out what belongs to who.
End-of-Term Disputes
If the end of the lease is in August, and the renter believes it is September, then one can see how that can cause issues. Whether the renter refuses to leave or the terms were unclear, an end-of-term dispute can be complicated and stressful. Regardless of who is in the wrong, an end-of-term dispute can require legal help to get it resolved.
Lease Violations
A lease clearly outlines what is expected of the tenant when renting the property. The owner should clearly outline what is acceptable and what is not. If a renter violates the lease agreement, the property owner can issue fees or in severe situations, terminate the lease and remove the tenant. A renter doesn’t want to be kicked out or lose money and the property owner wants to protect their investments. If a lease is violated, it is always important to get a lawyer to look at the lease to see exactly what was violated.
