Landlord/ Tenant Problems
Conflicts between landlords and their tenants have existed for thousands of years. Often, at the heart of the dispute is the differing perspectives of the landlord and the tenant about their legal and financial relationship. The landlord often believes that the rent must be paid “no matter what,” while the tenant believes that the landlord should accommodate late or nonpayment when the tenant problems faces a hardship. These disputes over values and misunderstandings of the legal system regulating their relationship are often complex.
The Financial Risks of Owing Money to a Landlord
When you owe money to a landlord, you may be unaware of the devastating consequences this debt may cause. If you have rented property for a home or a business, you could be in for a sizable debt if the agreement doesn’t work out. When you sign a lease, you agree to pay a total amount equal to its entire term. While 6 or 12 months is the typical term for a home, renting a business might involve a term of 5 or even 10 years. When broken down into monthly installments, the cost might not seem significant. But if you can’t fulfill this lease, the total you might owe could be enormous.
Property Damage and Potential Disputes
Problems can also arise if the landlord’s property is damaged when returned to the landlord’s possession. A certain amount of damage, known as “normal wear and tear,” is expected. However, property damage beyond that level can result in a hefty repair bill being assigned to the tenant problems. There are even situations where bad landlords have claimed damages that don’t exist or existed when the property was rented.
