One of the most tedious things to deal with is a stubborn landlord or a stubborn tenant, depending on which side of the fence you’re sitting on. When a tenant or a landlord doesn't comply in a real estate dispute, it might be time to bring in a lawyer.
Before the case goes to trial, an attorney can help you agree on a dispute and create a written rental agreement holding both parties to their word. Rental contracts, for example, are mostly composed because oral agreements can be subject to misunderstandings and are challenging to reexamine in court.
When landlords or tenants don’t follow the agreements, then it might be time to call an attorney about taking the stubborn party to court. If a landlord doesn’t fulfill the terms of his or her part of the agreement, the tenant should consult an attorney before withholding rent. Likewise, if a tenant fails to meet his or her part of the agreement, a landlord should understand the law concerning evictions before taking action.
