Landlord-Tenant Disputes Attorneys
Offices in Minneapolis, Minnesota and nationwide
Often times, tenants and landlords will argue over issues such as upkeep of property, raising of the rent, noise, trespassing, lease and privacy issues. If you have lived in an apartment building or some other residence in which you had to answer to a landlord, you know full well that problems can arise and heated arguments can take place. If a dispute between a tenant and a landlord becomes very serious, legal action may need to be taken. If the police are called and charges are made against one or more parties, you may have a criminal case on your hands.
Most landlord/tenant disputes are civil matters that can be handled by a civil litigator. The attorneys at The Cochran Firm, with many offices across the United States, have represented thousands of landlords and tenants in residence disputes. Our attorneys can help you, too.
What, exactly, is Landlord-Tenant Law?
This type of law governs any issues having to do with renting commercial and residential property and is made up of primarily common and statutory laws. Federal statutory laws will come into play in cases of national or regional emergencies and in landlord-tenant disputes that involve some type of discrimination.
Quiet Enjoyment
Leases and rental agreements included what is called the implied covenant of quiet enjoyment. This means that the landlord is to guarantee that tenants take possession of leased premises and the landlord will not interfere in the tenants private possessions or use of the property.
