Services for Landlords
Eviction of Tenants
Our team handles evictions for both residential and commercial properties on a daily basis. We guide landlords through the correct procedure with full consideration of the Consumer Protection Act, Rental Housing Act, PIE Act, Extension of Security of Tenure Act, and all other relevant legislation.
Thanks to our experience and volume of cases, we’ve developed a streamlined, efficient process that helps bring matters to a close as quickly and cost-effectively as possible.
Evictions of Other Illegal Occupants
Properties purchased at Sheriff’s auctions or acquired with existing unlawful occupants often require a specialised eviction process. These matters can be complex and need an attorney who understands the nuances involved.
We have extensive experience assisting developers, investors, and property speculators with these evictions, ensuring the correct procedure is followed from start to finish.
Drafting and Vetting of Lease Agreements
A strong lease agreement is the first and most effective tool in managing your risk as a landlord. Your lease must align with all applicable legislation, including the Rental Housing Act and Consumer Protection Act, both of which may override or invalidate certain clauses if not drafted correctly.
Laws and dispute trends evolve, so updating your lease regularly is essential. We draft custom leases tailored to your property and assist landlords, rental agents, and property practitioners with lease vetting for portfolio acquisitions.
A well-crafted lease today can save you significant time, cost, and frustration in the future.
