Evicting a Tenant: Lawyer for Recovery of Leased Property
Tenant eviction lawyer
Property owners often find themselves with a tenant who neither pays rent nor vacates the property. In worse cases, the tenant also fails to pay the property’s bills, such as electricity, gas, municipal tax and water, which may then fall on the owner, who not only does not have the property but may have to pay creditors.
Every day the tenant remains, the owner’s financial damage grows, and often there is nowhere to recover the money owed. Removing a defaulting tenant requires legal assertiveness and quick action to minimise the owner’s losses; otherwise the situation may drag into lawsuits, attachments and distress.
Our office specialises in such cases. Initial legal advice as soon as the tenant shows signs of not intending to honour the agreement is critical.
Many such tenants are “experienced”: they have rented several properties and dealt with legal proceedings before, and use this knowledge to their advantage at the landlord’s expense.
If you own a property and are dealing with a tenant who damages it, does not pay or breaches your agreement, contact our office so that we can begin handling the matter promptly. Working with specialists can save you distress and unnecessary costs.
