When you rent from someone, you typically sign a contract that states the rules of the property, states the rent
you'll be paying, as well as any other provisions specific for that particular landlord. Renting a property, be it
a house, apartment or trailer, you are giving your word that you will respect the property, follow the rules and
pay your rent on time. Unfortunately, sometimes the landlord and tenant relationship goes sour either because of
lease violations or non-payment of rent. If the problem gets too bad, the landlord is going to attempt to evict the
tenant. Eviction court doesn't require an attorney (both parties may represent themselves, but landlord and tenant
attorneys can help a person's credibility and can increase the chances of winning the case.
Landlords
For landlords, evicting someone is the last thing they typically want to do. After all, an empty
house/apartment/trailer doesn't bring in any income. A landlord will usually try to work with you as much as
possible so as not to lose you. The exceptions to these cases are those tenants that are troublesome, that are into
illegal activity, or who are seriously delinquent on their rent. A landlord, in order to evict a tenant, must pay
out of his or her pocket to file the eviction. This is generally around a hundred dollars. Then they have to go to
court. Landlord and tenant attorneys can go in place of the landlord to court so that the landlord can handle
business back at the property; or the office if it's off property.
Tenants
Tenants are held by a written lease contract to abide by the rules and to pay their rent. If they get an eviction
notice, they have a few choices. They can either skip out on the property, which will be very expensive for them,
they can go to court and hope they'll be able to put up enough of an argument that they'll win their case, or they
can hire a landlord and tenant attorney to represent them. While landlord cases are cut and dry (everything's
spelled out in the contract), the tenant can argue that work orders weren't completed, that the landlord didn't
hold up his or her end of the bargain as far as the lease is concerned, or anything else that may turn the case in
their favor. The reason it would be good for a tenant to hire a landlord and tenant attorney is because an attorney
may know all the loopholes required to win the case for the tenant so that they may stay in the rental unit.
Landlord and tenant attorneys aren't cheap, but they're worth the money if it means evicting that troublesome or
delinquent tenant, or if it means enabling the tenant to keep his or her home.
