Issues that arise with tenants and landlords

Do you have a legal issue with a tenant or landlord? The Riverside Lawyer Referral Service may be able to help.

Both tenants and landlords have an obligation to each other to respect each other’s rights. The landlord cannot discriminate against prospective tenants because of ethnicity, gender, disability etc.; however, the landlord does have the right to obtain credit history from the potential tenant to ensure that he/she is financially capable of paying the rent. Likewise, the landlord is responsible to maintain the rented site and provide safe living conditions for the tenant.

Disputes that may arise between the landlord and tenant can be very expensive and have lasting results. For example, if a landlord does not fix a leak that is in the residence, the leak may lead to mold, causing the tenant to get sick. Or, the tenant may have cause significant damage to the property prior to moving out, leaving the landlord with large expenses to fix the issue.

If you have an issue with a landlord or tenant, contact us so that we can refer you to the right real property lawyer for the case. During your consultation, the lawyer can inform you about your rights and how to proceed with your situation.

Business litigation and lawyer services

Business litigation can take on a myriad of forms, which is why it is important to meet with a lawyer who is well-versed in business law. Whether you are in the beginning stages of your business, or are facing a legal dispute with a partner or employee, having the right lawyer represent you is imperative.

Business litigation issues may include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Copyrights and patents
• Contract disputes
• Employment litigation
• Real estate
• Contractor disputes

Or, you may find that you may not need to have a lawyer throughout the entire duration of your business legal matter. For example, you can meet with an attorney to go over contracts and have him/her explain them to you before proceeding with the paperwork. Or, you can have the lawyer give you sound legal advice of how to continue with your course of action. Either way, receiving legal insight from a law professional will have long term benefits.
