In any lease or housing arrangement, both landlords and their tenants have certain rights as well as responsibilities. However, disputes may arise when it comes to how either party exercises its rights or enforces its responsibilities. When this happens, it is usually critical to seek the services of an attorney because these rights and responsibilities are often governed by complex statutes. At our Connecticut Eviction Law Firm, we understand the complexity of these statutes and laws and can effectively represent parties in a range of disputes.
Here are key areas where disputes can arise and how we can help you in each.
Evictions
Evictions are among the common areas in which disputes arise. If you are a landlord, we can help you follow the detailed rules such as notifying your tenant of the eviction lawsuit and filing the right documents. This is of vital importance because compliance with rules governing housing eviction is critical in eviction lawsuits. Our eviction attorney can also assist you reduce the number of evictions you do (because they can be stressful and costly) and ensure any non-paying and non-compliant tenants are out of your property within the shortest time possible.
If you are a tenant who has been served with an eviction notice by your landlord, our eviction lawyer can help identify any illegalities in the eviction. We can determine whether the eviction was retaliatory or whether the landlord used self-help remedies such as changing locks or cancelling your utilities to evict you.
Property Damage
If a tenant is suing you for major property damage arising from your negligence to maintain your rental property, our landlord lawyer will be able to advise you on the best approach to take.

For small claims, you may not need your insurance company but our landlord attorney would still be crucial in helping you handle the claims yourself.
