Landlord Representation
The Fell Law Firm provides owners of leased commercial space or apartment buildings with astute legal counsel and strong but resolution-minded representation in landlord-tenant litigation:
- Drafting and review of lease agreements to prevent disputes
- Rent collection — It's usually in both parties' interest to continue the tenancy. Mr. Fell will negotiate partial payment or a payment plan with an honest or long-time tenant, but he will aggressively pursue judgments and enforce them against hostile parties trying to avoid their obligation.
- Eviction proceedings, including notice, filing suit for forcible entry and detainer, and obtaining a writ of possession to regain the premises.
Tenant Rights
We also represent commercial and residential tenants in litigation and disputes:
- Rent negotiations — A workable plan to repay past due rent
- Wrongful eviction — Fighting eviction when back rent is disputed or you are falsely accused of violating terms of the lease (e.g., unauthorized person or pet, illegal use of property)
- Early lease termination — Negotiation of final rent and security deposits
- Maintenance — Enforcing landlords' obligations under the lease
