When you lease an apartment from a landlord, you may have every intention of upholding your end of the contract. You may never anticipate your landlord violating his or her own terms, however, and treating you maliciously or negligently.
When you have a legitimate legal argument with the landlord, you may want to use every resource to protect yourself and avoid an unlawful eviction. You can get the legal advice you need and pursue any options open to you when you retain counsel like a Berkeley tenant lawyer.
Clarifying the Contract
The landlord may have overlooked or forgotten about the terms of the contract he or she signed with you. You may need to point out these violations and compel this person to uphold the contract fully.
Your attorney can review and remind your landlord of his or her legal obligations toward you as a tenant. This legal action may successfully remedy the situation and allow you to finish out the terms of your lease without another moment of worry.
However, if the landlord is unwilling to abide by the terms of the contract, you may have every reason to file a lawsuit. Your attorney can pursue a settlement or a judgment to gain compensation for you.
